There's gold in them thar tickets, and someone reading this will find that gold. It could be worth $5,000, $1,000 or $500. The tickets are to fund "The Braille Forum" and the winners will be announced on July 22, 2011. Every ACB board member is participating in this effort by buying and selling tickets. You do not have to be there to win.
Only a limited number of tickets are being printed. They cost $50 each. Why not get together with up to four friends and pay $10 each to be in the drawing? If you have a friend or relative who already has everything, buy them a ticket as a holiday surprise. Every ticket you purchase is tax-deductible.
If your affiliate or special-interest group, or you personally can support "The Braille Forum," call ACB's financial office toll-free at 1-800-866-3242, provide your credit card information and tickets will be mailed to your home or affiliate.
Alternatively, tickets will be available at the fall board meeting in Reno, the ACB mid-winter board/legislative seminar/presidents' meeting in Washington, D.C., and at ACB's golden anniversary conference and convention in Reno. Go for the gold and enhance "The Braille Forum's" ability to continue bringing nuggets of information for us!
