[Greater-baltimore] Voting Information & LBPH Friends Program

[nfbmd]

Hello All,

Do you want to find out the state ballot questions or who is running for the 
Board of Education in your local area... check out the local channel of NFB 
Newsline to get all of the information you need about the election ballot. 
Early voting ends Thursday.  Regular voting will be on Tuesday, November 2. 
Let's get out and make our voices heard.

The Friends of LBPH will hold their Annual Meeting on Saturday, October 30 
at 10:00 am at the Library.  We are also conducting a bake sale to raise 
money for the Braille book shelving project.

The featured speaker at the meeting will be Rafael Alvarez.  Alvarez was a 
City Desk reporter for the Baltimore Sun for twenty years, specializing in 
local folklore.  In addition to writing scripts for the HBO drama The Wire, 
Alvarez has published The People's History of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, 
and recently sold a pilot script for a new waterfront drama to the 
Independent Film Channel.  Rafael Alvarez is the author of six books, 
including the short story collection, Orlo and Leini.  LBPH has recorded The 
Fountain of Highlandtown, narrated by Susan Rittenhouse, MDC00466.

Show your support for LBPH and buy a sweet so that Braille books at LBPH can 
be properly preserved.
