<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Members and Friends of the Missouri Council of the
Blind,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! As we head into 2010 we
want to inform you of an exciting new opportunity for you to help the Missouri
Council of the Blind. MCB is participating in a program of collaboration with
Schnucks grocery stores. If you live in the St. Louis, Washington, Jefferson
City, Columbia or Cape Girardeau*Missouri area you can help MCB to bring in
revenue simply by shopping at the Schnucks Store in your town. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This free program works off of a scannable card that
designates MCB as the recipient charity of choice for you. It <b><u>does not</u></b>
increase the cost of your groceries. The cards are available at the MCB office
at no charge. We would love to mail one out to you so that we can begin
receiving the benefits. It is simple and costs you nothing. With your
participation, MCB receives the following dollar benefits depending on your
monthly grocery purchases: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><u>Buy Per Month</u></b> <b><u>MCB
Recieves…</u></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>$1.00 to $300.00 1%<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>$301.00 to $600.00 2%<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>$601.00 to $999.00 3%<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please let us know if you would consider helping us by
purchasing groceries as you normally would at a Schnucks near you. Again, there
is no cost to you and there is no increase in grocery prices. Call:
314-832-7172 or email: <a href="mailto:MoBlind@MoBlind.Org">MoBlind@MoBlind.Org</a>
to request your card to participate in this free program. You need not be a
member of MCB to participate in this program, only a desire to assist MCB with
maintaining the programs that serve the blind community of Missouri. Each time
you check out at Schnucks with your grocery purchases, simply present the MCB
card for swiping and at the end of the month Schnucks will deposit the correct
amount to MCB. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We hope you can help MCB in securing extra financial support
through this charitable program offered by Schnucks..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sincerely<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>*Note: Cards for the Schnuck’s stores in Cape
Girardeau differ in looks than all the other Schnucks location store cards. If
you shop at Schnucks in Cape Girardeau please let us know this when you request
a card. Though different in looks, if you present your Cape Girardeau Schnucks
card at any other Schnucks location it will read and post correctly to MCB<o:p></o:p></p>
