Federation of the Blind started a Braille Readers are Leaders Campaign to
address the Braille literacy crisis. To help us tackle this problem we
need information from adult Braille readers. You can help us by
filling out a very short, seventeen-question, <A
href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=JniU4_2fJTbPt5IN3_2fTN5sPA_3d_3d">survey</A>
online. This survey is completely confidential and will not affect your
participation in the Braille Readers Are Leaders contest. Donate five
minutes of your time to help change the state of Braille literacy in this
country. <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Note: this survey is designed
for blind Braille readers; thus the sighted teachers and parents competing
in the contest do not need to fill it
out.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></B></SPAN></FONT></P>

contest entry documentation must be submitted between January 4 and 22,
2010. If you need a reminder of the documentation required please consult
