How do I go about subscribing to the Braille Monitor?  What formats is it available in?  How can I go about getting hold of an October Issue so I may read the article mentioned here?

The following message was sent to me by the esteemed Jim Omvig. Very good food for thought. The speech "By The Grace of God" is a must read. If you've read it before, check it out again. We have had some very good feedback as far as groups go. I'll send out more regarding this later this week.

Dear Mr.  President:

Please forward this message on to all of our Des Moines Chapter members concerning projects and activities in which we might engage!  I think many of the suggestions have been very good ones, but I believe we should also set up a project on Federation History and Philosophy!  I have just finished reading the October BRAILLE MONITOR, and I am moved!

First, though, Mary McGee, it's great to have you back among the active participants!  KEEP ON KEEK'N ON!!!

Now, to all Chapter members, the first thing you should do concerning NFB History and Philosophy is to read the October BRAILLE MONITOR, at least a couple of times.  Many of you have probably never had the opportunity to read a speech written and delivered by our founder, Dr.  Jacobus tenBroek.  Well, in October you will find one of his most fabulous ones:  WITHIN THE GRACE OF GOD!  Please read and study it!

In fact, Mr.  President, assuming we set up this study group, it's very first meeting should be to discuss this speech!  Then, in later sessions, we can dig deeper into other and newer NFB philosophy.  So please pass on this idea to all Chapter members.

Incidentally, I know that October and MEET THE BLIND MONTH are passing swiftly.  Do we have any activities planned to educate the sighted public about we blind people?

Respectfully,

Jim Omvig
