[Nfb-idaho] Bell Program

[Ramona Walhof]

The NFB of Idaho has been approved as one of the new states for the Bell 
program this summer.  That is Braille Enrichment for learning and literacy. 
That means we will be sponsoring a two-week program for kids from six to 
twelve or so the last week of July and the first week of August. If you know 
of a blind or visually impaired child who wants to learn Braille or improve 
fluency in Braille, please refer the parents to me.

We will be looking for the best location we can find.  Anyone who wants to 
help should contact me. There are a variety of things people can do. Many 
will be part-time volunteers.  Since the population is so large in southwest 
Idaho, we should probably locate the program here.  However, if there is a 
child from another part of the State who would benefit, we should look for 
ways to make it happen.

This is an exciting opportunity for us and can be repeated year after year.
