Subject: Big Announcement!!!


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 tooned 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 Mhartle at nfb.org or Mthorpe at nfb.org.
Thanks. 
 
Sincerely,
Mary Jo T. Hartle
