Dear Elizabeth,<BR><BR> <BR><BR> I am sincerely
grateful for your interest in the fight to end subminimum wages. I have
read your message a few times but am struggling to understand what it is that
you want to know. Honestly, the abundance of typographical errors would
not be much of a problem if they did not erode the 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.<BR><BR>
<BR><BR> I also wish to remind you and others that Edward
Shaham has taken over for me to spearhead our legislative activities.
While I am happy to offer any help that I can, Edward’s understanding of and
ability to research these issues should not be underestimated.
<BR><BR> <BR><BR> Lastly, 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 email Rose at
rsloan@nfb.org.<BR><BR> <BR><BR> Sincerely

<BR><BR> <BR><BR>
Just 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!) <BR><BR>
<BR><BR> If you have any questions, please contact
Liz Spann at espann@nfb.org or by phone at 410-685-5653, extension
2418.<BR><BR> <BR>
