[Fopbc] [Nfbf-l] Selling the Coin

[Sherrill O'Brien]

Hello Marion and all,

Marion, that's great!  Thanks for working hard for a cause that's so very
important.  I realize we've been talking about, and working to promote,
Braille literacy and the coin it represents.  But if the teaching of Braille
in this country weren't in such a deplorable state, NFB would not be
devoting all this time and energy to it.  We all need to pitch in, order
coins and do the best we can to find ways to sell them.  Coin clubs and
shows bring the perfect audience to us.

Sherrill

Dear All,
    Laswt night I attended the monthly meeting of the Brandon Coin Club. I
am happy to report that I sold four proofs! This Saturday, the club is
having a coin show in Brandon and are expecting more than 300 people to
attend. The club is dedicated to helping us sell as many coins as possible,
so every attendee will get information about the Louis Braille Commemorative
Coin and be directed to our table! My goal is to sell the remaining 13 of
the 20 coins we have! Find a coin club in your area and ask them if you can
make a 10-minute presentation about the coin. It is so easy to sell them if
you have the right audience! The Braille literacy crisis is to severe to
ignore!

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
