<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is one site I found with virtual fundraising ideas. I highlighted those I found that will be easier for us to do based on our numbers, not only in members, but also funds. Please read the entire list though because perhaps another
idea will be suitable/doable that I didn’t highlight below.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, for one idea I mentioned to switch up our meetings and do something different for the social aspect is joining up with a random, or not so random chapter from a different state to mix and mingle. We can have someone give a speech
on a topic around blindness, or whatever might be an appropriate topic. We can even try to do breakout rooms for smaller gatherings so people can introduce themselves just to meet new people in the organization.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have already spoken to a friend from Iowa who is interested, and I’m pretty sure I have someone who would be interested to do something in my homestate of New Mexico.</p>
