ACB will be holding another raffle to support "The Braille Forum." Tickets are already available, in time for state affiliate conventions, and just in time for holiday gift-giving for that person who has everything.
While tickets will still be sold at the 2010 national convention in Phoenix, we urge members to take advantage of the early-bird incentive for selling tickets now. A prize of $200 will be awarded to the individual who sells the most tickets before June 30, 2010. Contact Dena Wilson, director of development, at (202) 559-2045 or at [email protected], to get your tickets. Each ticket costs $50, and you can have as many as five people go in together to purchase a single ticket.
We encourage local chapters, and state and special-interest affiliates, to buy raffle tickets to have a chance of winning the grand prize of $5,000, second prize of $1,000, and third prize of $500. Be sure to ask family, friends, co-workers and others to consider taking a chance with much greater odds of winning than with the lottery. The drawing will be held at the ACB banquet in Phoenix; the early-bird winner will be announced at the same time.
Let's get started early, and make this the biggest and best raffle yet! If you have any questions, contact Dan Dillon at (615) 874-1223 or by e-mail, [email protected].
