[Nfb-lions] New member intro and pen pal magazine

Sun Feb 16 13:37:50 UTC 2014

Cheryl,

are you sure? I believe that the magazine folded in December of January.

notices that went out, short and sweet to the writers and contributors to
the magazine said it was closing.

if you have something stating that the magazine is still in operation, even
if in electronic format, share that because I know a lot of writers who
would love to get back to writing for the magazine. thanks.

They are also on twitter, linkedin, facebook.
The e-mail comes out during the week, they have a pen pal e-mail and the
magazine information e-mail. No they do not produce it in braille any longer
but they do have it via e-mail

They do pen pals, and I know some of the reporters here in NY. Like Romeo
Edmeade and I did an interview for them in 2012.
