am sincerely grateful for your interest in the fight to end subminimum

understand what it is that you want to know. Honestly, the abundance of

clarity of the message, but I regret to report that they do. If you
could please edit and resend your message, I would be happy to help answer
your questions.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

I want to encourage you to feel comfortable reaching out to Rose Sloan at our
national office. She is the one leading our efforts to achieve fair
wages by fixing the Workforce Investment Act and also getting the House to
pass HR 831 and the Senate to introduce and pass a companion bill to HR
831. It is certainly good to use our resources here in Connecticut, but
helping people understand this issue is part of why we pay her the big
bucks. Her phone number is: 410-659-9314, ext. 2441. You can also

a quick reminder that Monday is Read Across America Day! This celebration of
literacy always takes place on the weekday closest to Dr. Seuss's birthday,
March 2, since his writings continue to inspire children to fall in love
with reading. Once again, we ask that you celebrate the day anyway you can
to emphasize the important role of Braille in literacy for the blind. If
your affiliate is holding a party or activity in honor of Read Across
America Day, please let us know! We'd love to get photos or videos of your
celebration. We're also asking that everyone send us a photo or video of
someone reading Braille. We're especially eager to see people reading
Braille near a famous landmark, so we can really show that Braille is being
used all across the country! (Of course, we understand that in many parts of
the country, those landmarks are obscured by snow!) </SPAN><SPAN
