The Diabetes Action Network of the National Federation of the Blind reaches out and provides support and information to thousands of people. Because it costs to operate this valuable network and to produce the Voice of the Diabetic, we must generate funds to help cover these expenses. Our Diabetes Action Network has elected to hold a raffle, which will be coordinated by our division treasurer, Bruce Peters.
THE GRAND PRIZE WILL BE $500! The winning ticket will be drawn, and the winner's name announced, on July 3, 2003, at the banquet held during the annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind.
Raffle tickets cost $1 each, or a book of six may be purchased for $5. Tickets may be purchased from state representatives of our Diabetes Action Network or by contacting the Voice Editorial Office, 1412 I-70 Drive SW, Suite C, Columbia, MO 65203; telephone: (573) 875-8911. Anyone interested in selling tickets should also contact the Voice Editorial Office. Tickets are available now! Names of persons who sell 50 tickets or more will be announced in the Voice.
Please make checks payable to the National Federation of the Blind. Money and sold raffle ticket stubs must be mailed to the Voice office no later than June 13, 2003, or they can be personally delivered to Raffle Chairman Bruce Peters, at this year's NFB convention in Louisville, Kentucky. This raffle is open to anyone age 18 or older, and the holder of the lucky raffle ticket need not be present to win. Each ticket sold is a donation, helping keep our Diabetes Action Network moving forward.
