[nabs-l] Braille Menu

[Dave Wright]

Along with this last statement,
I would also offer to take one of their menus and get it brailed if it is 
within your ability to do so. This way you'll be helping out the next blind 
individual who comes along. Restaurants usually love it when you offer to 
help them get business.
