<P>Dear Melissa,</P>
<P>On behalf of Benetech, our Bookshare program and our more than
450,000 Bookshare student members, thank you for supporting
Bookshare funding by sending letters to your Congressional
representatives.</P>
<P>Thousands of students, parents, teachers, and supporters around
the country once again contacted their representatives, letting them
know how critical Bookshare is for students with print disabilities
like vision impairments and dyslexia. And those efforts make a real
difference. As you likely know, the budget for the remainder of 2017
was passed by Congress and signed by the President and includes full
funding for the work that Bookshare is currently doing.</P>
<P>While the near term battle is past us, the longer term fight
continues and we very well may need your help again in the coming
year to support continued funding for Bookshare and the service it
provides. We will be keeping a close watch as the 2018 budget
negotiations get going.</P>
<P>Thank you again for supporting Bookshare.</P>
<P>Sincerely,</P>
<P>Jim Fruchterman<BR>CEO<BR>Benetech</P>
