[il-talk] Fw: BRAL?

[Edwin]

Will you be able to discuss this at convention and explain the reason for
national to give this project up?

Well, here's a shocker.  The annual Braille Readers Are Leaders contest
sponsored by national apparently is no more.  The adult contest was around
the last 5 (?) years.  And its demise is only one year after national
stopped the BRAL program for children, that having been around for maybe 30
years.  

I think the NFB of Illinois needs to consider sponsoring some kind of BRAL
contest on a statewide level.

Great to hear from you. Unfortunately, we will not be having an adult
contest this year. We are hoping that NAPUB may be able to take over the
contest and reinstate it next year though.

 

All the best,

Natalie

Hi Natalie

 

Is BRAL starting on Nov 1?  I haven't heard a peep.
