[DSM-Iowa] [Tall-Corn] Teresa‘s gaming salon

[bray at nfbi.org]

Greetings, You say that you would have liked to been at today's event but things happened that prevented you from being there. This sounds familiar  since that is exactly what happened to me. Well, my next thought was this is an event that deserves my thoughts and actions on both levels. First Teresa has been an important role in the NFBI and the NFB over that past three decades. Not to mention that she and her whole family have been friends to all of us.   Second, the profits from this event support the Bell Academy that we are planning to do this next summer. With this in mind, when Cindy left for the church this noon I asked her to turn in my twenty dollar registration even though I wouldn't be there. If you would like to support this project you may do likewise and send David Hammel a contribution for Teresa's Gaming Salon. Any profit there is from this event goes toward our Bell program next summer.

Please join me in helping make this a successful event.

Bob

Cindy Ray wrote the majority of this and I thought I would post it here in case anyone is interested. Teresa‘s gaming salon,
When: November 4, 1-5  PM.
Where: Windsor Presbyterian Church, 6301 University
Host: Des Moines chapter, National Federation Of The Blind of Iowa Come one, come all to Teresa's Gaming Salon. It will be held in Ward Hall at Windsor Presbyterian Church, 6301 University Avenue at the gateway to Windsor Heights. There is an admission fee of $20 per person to play continuous games. Six games are planned--Uno, Skip Bo, Hearts, Bingo, Racko, and scrabble. Refreshments will be available, and a ticket will give you a chance at a door prize. We are raising funds to help pay for our BELLProgram (Braille Enrichment for Literacy and learning.)This program works with children ages 4-12 on mobility, braille, and other activities and tasks. Teresa was a woman who was home schooling her grandchildren. She was passionate about braille and she loved to play games. She died unexpectedly last spring. We thought this event would be a wonderful tribute to her. Come join us November 4 and play with us.
This is also going to be our meet the Blind, and get to know us. I will have a lot of literature, alphabet cards in braille, a braille writer, and a Slaton stylist there to show people how braille is done. Come, meet us, if you know someone who is Blind please bring them.
