<p class=MsoNormal>As Matt has said, we will be holding BELL training this
Saturday. I wanted to provide a little more information and hope many of you
will volunteer fro this fun program. Below is some information about the BELL
program; a braille literacy and independence program for blind children
developed by the NFB. The NFB of Washington is co-hosting our BELL program with
the NFB of Oregon at WSSB the weeks of August 6 and August 13. The link that
Beth provided is from a past NFB of Oregon program. The program is for young
children from 6-12 years old so there is no jobs component. We will need
volunteers from the chapter to assist with the program. Volunteers will sign up
with Corey to fill morning and afternoon shifts (8 am-noon and noon-3 pm). Our
teacher for the program will be Sarah Zachariah, a teacher of blind children
from the Samamish school district. Sarah has a great attitude and good energy
for our program. Carla McQuillan, NFB of Oregon President, will be leading the
training, which will also cover things that the chapter can do to help prepare
for the program. Carla has several years experience running BELL programs in
Oregon. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I will also be at the training on Saturday. I am very
excited that we are hosting our first BELL program. I hope to be with many of
you on Saturday. I will be arriving in Vancouver Friday evening around 5:15. I
am available to have dinner or meet with chapter members. If you want to get
together send me an email at <a href="mailto:mjc59@comcast.net">mjc59@comcast.net</a> or
call me at 206-604-5507.<o:p></o:p></p>

NFB Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning (BELL) Academy prepares blind
and low vision children, ages four through twelve, to grow into confident and
independent blind people who will live the lives they want. The program
provides Braille and non-visual skills instruction through fun, hands-on
learning in a day program or residential setting. In addition to Braille
crafts, games, and other engaging projects, children learn vital independent
living skills, interact with blind adults who serve as mentors, and enjoy field
trips to sites related to the NFB BELL Academy curriculum. Through these
activities and interactions, the children learn that blindness or low vision
does not define them or their future. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
