[Kevin Pirnie]

Hi all,

Here are a few items from this week that you may find of interest.

First, there have been a couple news stories published in Idaho this week
in recognition of the October 15th "Blind American Equality Day"
proclamation and THE blindness awareness focus in October. Sean Malone has
been instrumental in contacting the press and sparking interest from the
media.

One story was published in the Gem County Messenger and the other was
publushed by the CPA Press in northern Idaho.

You may read these stories at the following links.

electronic Braille device. Read more at...

Some may also be interested in free software that automatically creates
websites. There are some valuable upgrade options available, but are not
necessary to easily make a nice website.
