Lurraine;

I got your message maybe one to two hours, ago.  Are you set to not receive your own messages?

Joyce,
I sent a copy to myself of the note  below and I received it very quickly. 
I don't know why my emails are not  showing up on the Krafter's Korner listserv (even after an hour's wait), but  they are not. Will you forward this for me? 
Lorraine

Dear  Krafters, 
I  plan to attend this open forum of the Braille Authority of North America 
 (BANA) and have already sent my email to Judy Dixon to request a seat and 
to  tell her I read regular print. If you want to attend, the announcement 
says:  "To reserve your space at the Open Forum and to help ensure accurate 
counts  for handouts, contact Judy Dixon at 202-707-0722 or _jdix at loc.gov_ 
(mailto:jdix at loc.gov) ."   
I  live in a community just outside of Baltimore  and I work at the NFB 
Jernigan Institute (which is the new name for NFB HQ  here in Baltimore instead 
of National Center for the Blind). So if anyone  needs directions for car, 
train, or bus, I will be glad to help you find the  place.  If you do a 
MapQuest or Google map, our address is: National  Federation of the Blind, 200 
East  Wells Street, Baltimore,  MD 21230. 
I  expect I'll hear some interesting requests and comments concerning 
Braille  usage along with pleas to just have a lot more Braille everything.  Some 
 of those who come may not be aware that the work of NFB members is their 
best  bet for increasing the usage of Braille; BANA's job is to decide what 
Braille  looks like. 
Since  I don't use Braille, but only know the basics on how it is 
structured and  write grade 1 with a Braille card for (rare) notes to Braille-reading 
 colleagues, I do not plan to ask to attend their board meetings on the  
weekend.  The details the BANA experts will fling at each other will no  doubt 
be mind-boggling to non-experts.   
For  more information on BANA and on their meeting, go to their website at:

Your  Viking-wire-weaving krafter friend, 
Lorraine Rovig 
Baltimore
