[Jayhawk-chapter] River City Reading fest, October 9

[James H. "Jim" Canaday M.A. N6YR]

Hello,
we have expressed much interest in doing this.  here are the 
details.  I hope that you will volunteer for times by way of posting 
on here.  working for this should be simpler and less demanding than 
working at saturday's outreach table.
to be on the safe side I will register the festival and order some 
more braille cards and brochures since we could have quite a crowd at 
the outreach table.

*I spoke with Sidney this morning, here are the details on the River 
City Reading Festival.
October 9th Saturday 9a.m. to 2p.m., we will have a six foot table 
and two chairs inside a tent, outside the city library (probably on 
the north side).
We cannot ask for donations or fundraise.
however this event is especially aimed at children, youth, and their 
parents, to encourage reading.  we can reach many people with 
information about Braille and blindness here.
Certainly braille alphabet cards will be popular.  and having a 
brailler there would be very good too.
Sidney will put in an hour, and she will also put in an hour's 
volunteer time with the organizing group.
I plan to be there too.

this would be one of our Meet the Blind Month Activities.

So, please post on this list if you will volunteer for this 
opportunity.  thanks.
