[Nfb-krafters-korner] Monday night chat idea

Thu Aug 13 05:58:31 UTC 2015

Since this is a fundraiser, you could ask one of the companies that sell braille paper if they would donate the paper or even a portion of the paper.

At one point, my state had a braille reading group that met via phone and we read short stories together to practice our braille skills (each group was one proficient braille reader with one or two learning/beginning braille readers). I would find the short stories and then emboss the copies in the grade needed for each individual. We only had about four groups going at any time and I was able to get a company to donate a box of braille paper (they were actually willing to give me more than one box).
