[il-talk] Fw: Fwd: [Nfbnet-members-list] Braille Readers areLeaders Contest Starting Soon

[Edwin]

I will be willing to enter since I read Braille books all the time.  My
concern is that I don't do or want to do face book because of that decision,
I ask, is it a prerequisite to do face book in order to participate in this
program?

Hi Everyone

Please think about entering the Braille Readers Are Leaders contest which is
coming soon.  Last year, to the best of my knowledge, we had only 4 NFBI
adults enter the contest.  Considering we represent the whole state of
Illinois, that is kind of sad.  

If you are interested and have questions, talk to me at convention or
contact me personally.

Greetings Federationists,

 

It's time to start reading! The reading period for the annual Braille
Readers Are Leaders contest for adults begins November 1. Registration for
the contest is now open! You can register at www.nfb.org/BRAL now through
the end of the contest, January 4, 2013. 

 

The contest is for adults who read Braille. There are categories for all
levels of Braille readers, from beginners to experts. Participants read for
prizes, practice, and pleasure. Whether you love the competition or are
spurred on simply because it's a great way to promote and refine your
Braille skills, this contest is for you. 

 

For more information, you can check the Web site, www.nfb.org/BRAL. There
you will find all the forms and reading logs you will need to participate.
If you still have questions, please contact the Braille Readers Are Leaders

Put your fingers to the paper and start recording what you are reading
today! 

 

Braille Rocks,

The Braille Readers Are Leaders team

 

P.S. Looking for information about the K-12 Braille Readers Are Leaders
program? 

 

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the K-12 Braille Readers Are Leaders
program. To celebrate 30 years of success, later this fall we will be
expanding the program and launching Braille Readers Are Leaders 360: A
Community of 21st Century Braille Readers-the first-ever accessible online
community for children who read Braille! The Braille Readers Are Leaders 360
(BRL360) online community will provide a safe place online where Braille
readers in kindergarten through twelfth grade can share their literacy
experience through: online discussions about their favorite books, book
trailers, live author chats, videos of themselves reading Braille, and much
more! Continuing with the Braille Readers Are Leaders mission, BRL360 will
promote a pride in Braille and a joy of reading among blind children all
year long. Stay tuned for more information about the expansion of our K-12
Braille Readers Are Leaders program. Contact us with your questions
