Contest


HI Federationists and  Friends, 

We are pleased to announce that this fall  there will be some new additions 
to the NFB's wonderful Braille Readers are  Leaders program. For starters, 
we are going to be expanding the program to  include some new categories. 
New categories will include competitions for  : 

**Teens--beginner, intermediate, and advanced  readers 
**Adults--beginner, intermediate, and advanced  readers 
And so much more! 

Don't worry  though. We're still keeping the original Braille Readers are 
Leaders that we  all know and love. But, we will be adding some new 
components to that as well.  The program is slated to kick off in November with these 
new additions, so  start brushing up on your contractions and warming up 
those fingers! Please  stay tuned for more details as they develop. 

If you  have ideas or suggestions for Braille Readers are Leaders, or any 
other  Braille programs, please let me know. You can contact me at the 
National  Center, or email me at <_mailto:Mhartle at nfb.org>Mhartle at nfb.org_
