[blindkid] Braille Music Workshop Oct 21

[Trudy Pickrel]

Carol Yes I am very excited to say the MD POBC are the starting force behind this workshop.  Brandon is starting Band this year and started me think that our County has never had any training on Braille Music and how many other County's have not either.  I approached Lisa Wright the coordinator for the St. Board of Education and the TVI's and the Blind Kids, about having a Braille Music course. She jump aboard excited.  We want to stay in the picture so we offered Child care and lunch.  Which we found out that State can not offer.  So yes we are excited that we are co Sponsors of the event.
