[Blindtlk] Braille Summit

[Hyde, David W. (ESC)]

This is going to be a very interesting event. I hope members can participate.



The NLS Braille Summit will take place June 19–21 at Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Massachusetts. There is a strong level of interest, and this conference promises to be an informative and thought-provoking event.
