These games are accessible to the sighted as well.  If we can get a 
spouse, friend, or coworker to come, the Chapter will get money that 
doesn't have to come from our pockets.  They'll observe what we already 
know -- that we have fun in the same ways that they do with their 
friends and family.  This could be a great "Meet the Blind Month" 
activity, perhaps even meriting mention on that web site.

Cordially,
Bill
