Subject: [il-talk] Status of Adult Readers in the BRAL Contest

As most of you know, the NFB is in the midst of its Braille Readers Are
Leaders annual contest.  This contest started on Nov 1 and will go through
Jan 4.  Individuals are encouraged to push themselves to read as many pages
of Braille as possible during the contest.  

For the second year, the NFB BRAL contest has an adult division.  Those
adults who participate, and want to submit the number of pages read can
update their progress on the "Leader Board."  And yes, Illinois can be
proud!  The results on the Leader Board, posted as of Dec 10, show the
following, based on input from the entire U.S.:  

Beginner Category
Kelly Doty, 2nd place

Intermediate Category
Lois Montgomery, 2nd place
Denise Avant, 3rd place

Sighted Category
Veronica Bargehr, 2nd place

Note that 3 members of the LIFE Team -- Kelly, Lois, & Denise --one of the
teams from Illinois in the Adult Team of the Year contest are on the Leader
Board.  Wow, we're doing great!
