[il-talk] Pennies for pages

[Denise Avant]

Hello federationist,
Well BRAL has started, and so far, I have read 50 pages. This year, I have decided to participate in Pennies For Pages just to do something different and bring in a few dollars for IABS. You see, whatever money I am able to raise for NABS, our national student division, half comes back to the State  student division. So, if anyone wants to sponsor me, by the page or a flat rate, half comes back to IABS and the other half to our young people at national.  I have two sponsors already. last year, i read 3012 pages. I do not know if I will make that this year, but BRAL is a good opportunity to work on my Braille skills and raise money for our student division.
And for everyone, BRAL has begun. Whether you are beginner or advanced, it is a fun time to brush up on your Braille skills.
Happy reading.
