The note below is from Melissa Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland. It would be great if we could get a good showing from Virginia to attend the crab feast. I have attended in the past, and it is a wonderful event.-----Original Message-----

Hi All,
For those of you not familiar with the NFBV Communications Committee, we were established by NFBV President Fred Schroeder a few months ago to assist chapters and divisions to become better known in their communities. We also assist the affiliate to better promote its mission of service as well.

Each month, on the third Tuesday, we gather for a one hour conference call to discuss how we are going to promote all the great things we do. And, you are invited!

Our conference call is open to everyone interested in spreading the positive message of the Federation. Whether you are a communications guru or just someone who wants to learn how to get more people to your local events, we welcome you.


Join us by dialing in this Tuesday evening at 8:00 P.M. and using the codes below. Not able to attend but want to keep updated on what is going on? Drop me an email and I will be glad to keep you in the loop. My personal email is john_bailey17 at hotmail.com  

Looking forward to hearing from you,
John Bailey

Subject: [Nfbv-announce] NFBV's VPAD plan
Message-ID: <D0779FA8924A49E2AACFF5069251F744@LapTop>

The National Federation of the Blind of Virginia (NFBV) created the Virginia Pre Authorized Donation (VPAD) plan  to make it easy and convenient for chapters and members, along with their families, friends, and coworkers to make regular monthly contributions to financially support the efforts of our organization.  Anyone wishing to make regular monthly donations simply needs to go to their financial institutions online bill pay platform and set up a recurring monthly payment using the following information:

NFBV PAD

3230 Grove Avenue

Richmond, VA  23221

(804) 262-7057

Individuals may specify donations in any amount and may specify them to reoccur on any day of each month that they choose.  With this plan, individual donors, not the NFBV, initiate and control all aspects of their donation.  Finally, with this plan, there are no operational fees.  100% of each donation goes directly to financially support the efforts of our organization.  Each participant should send their phone number and email address to mwroane at mindspring.com.
