>A year ago, we formed the ABLE (Access to Braille Literacy for Everyone) 
>Group within the Blackhawk Chapter, meeting once a week to read a common 
>Braille book aloud.  Group members then read in the book on their own 
>during the week.
>
> The exciting news is we've formed a team from within the ABLE Group, and 
> we have entered the new Braille Readers Are Leaders adult contest.  Team 
> members are Lois Montgomery, Jana Hergert, Bob Gardner, and -- our fourth 
> member, our surprise celebrity member is Jean Rauschenbach!
>
> Yes, out of the frozen wastelands of Minnesota, driving her dog team 
> toward fame and fortune, comes Jean Rauschenbach to join the ABLE effort!
>
> Stay tuned for further adventures of the ABLE Group in the contest.  Our 
> goal is to collectively read 2500 pages of Braille in the two months of 
> the contest.
