We continue to do this because of the happiness we feel toward him for giving us the Braille system for reading and writing. We, as blind people, want others to know that it is respectable to read Braille. So, after many years of hosting a Christmas party for the high school students at OSSB we have changed our focus. It is much less stressful to schedule with them to have a birthday party than it ever was to have a Christmas party in December. It is a lot of fun! I am hoping that some of our members will join the planning committee on Thursday, January 28, 2016, 6:00 p.m. for pizza, soda, cookies, and a fun time celebrating. This is not a membership drive although if we have students that want to join they would be warmly welcomed. Please reply to the list by noon on Thursday if you are going to attend so that we will have enough pizza ordered for everyone. We will be ordering pizza from Dominos. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Shelbi<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
