Hi Diane:
I would suggest that you contact the San Francisco Lighthouse for the Blind 
to see if they would transcribe the information into braille and large 
print.  We do not do that.  Our mission is to improve the lives of blind 
people.  We quite often do that by referring agencies so they can make 
information accessible but we don't diseminate flyers or posters..
Good luck
