[Nfbnet-members-list] NFB Colorado Amazing Vacation Travel Raffle

[Scott C. LaBarre]

Greetings:



As I write this, we are about four and a half months away from the 
Annual Banquet of the NFB of Colorado being held at the 59th Annual 
State Convention.  There, we will draw the name of one lucky winner 
of our 2013 Vacation Raffle.  What will this lucky person 
win?  He/she will win a $3500.00 gift certificate to a local travel 
agency to be used however the winner chooses, whether for a European 
vacation, cruise, or some other kind of vacation.  The certificate 
can be used multiple times and not spent all on one vacation.



Who is eligible to win?  Well, pretty much anyone, anywhere.  The 
winner does not need to be present to win which means we can sell 
these raffle tickets to anyone, anywhere.



How can someone get tickets?  Tickets can be purchased from any of 
our members who have them in hand.  Our members will be around the 
convention to sell you tickets.  Additionlly, if you come to the PAC 
table, we can even run your credit card.   Additionally, tickets can 
be purchased through our website, 
<http://www.nfbco.org/>www.nfbco.org, by clicking the "vacation 
raffle" link on our home page.  Tickets can be purchased immediately 
by using a credit card and the receipt will be mailed to the 
purchaser.  Additionally, a person can fill out the form available 
online and send in a check.  The receipts will then be mailed upon 
receipt of the check.



How much are tickets?  A single ticket is $10.00 and $20.00 gets 
three tickets.  A person can certainly buy more than $10 and $20 
worth of tickets.



How will the proceeds of the raffle be used?  Money from the raffle 
will support our NFB Colorado Scholarship Program and our BELL 
Camps.  Each year we give five scholarships to deserving blind and 
low vision post secondary students to help attend college or 
university.  Our BELL Camps, Braille Enrichment Through Learning and 
Literacy, puts literacy into the hands of blind children living in 
Colorado each summer through intense Braille lessons and other 
independent skills structured through a two week, academic camp.

Federation of the Blind of Colorado?  Please feel free to contact me
