If you remember, it was forecasted to be an extremely hot and humid day, but Deanna and Mombo, Kaiti and I were willing to give it go as long as we could! As it turned out, the manager, Deanna, invited us inside and set us up inside the store entrance, where it was nice and cool! We set up our table, put our banner around it, and put out NFB literature; “Do you know a blind person?”, “What is the National Federation of the Blind?”, NFB alphabet cards, Kernel books and Guide Dog materials. We then settled in and read braille and talked to people from 10 AM to 2 PM! We did not plan it, but we all had different mediums of braille. Kaiti was reading a book on her note-taker with the braille display, I had a braille copy of a banquet speech by Dr. Jernigan and Deanna had a dual braille-print book. For the couple of people who wanted more specifics, we hope we planted a seed, like the Kernel books intend.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Oh, how did the Braille-a-thon go?
