[DSM-Iowa] Email Version of Braille Monitor

[James Omvig]

Donna,

Thanks for your interest!  Do you have a Library for the Blind 
talking book player?  If you do, we can get you one of the little 
sticks with the MONITOR on it from the Federation.  I hope you'll 
read it every month!

  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. 
Respectfully,

Subject: Federation History and Philosophy!



?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
