From: Krystal, Coordinator, 2018 Braille Book Fair To: Supporters and past
workers at the Braille Book Fair Re: Volunteer workers 
Where: NFB Convention, Orlando FL 
When: Thursday, July 5, 2018 
Times: 9 am through 8:30 pm (prefer 2 hour time shifts) When you reply to
this message, please provide the following information: YES...I can work the
following shift(s): 8:00-10:00; 10:00-12:00; 1:00-3:00; 3:00-5:00;
5:00-7:00; 7:00- 9:00 
My cell phone number that I will have at convention is: I live in (state): 
Braille skills (including if you read by touch or by sight as a sighted
person) Note: If you are a parent of a blind child under the age 18 (or
still in high school or below), we know that you will want to attend the
NOPBC Annual Meeting which takes place just before the BBF, but we would
welcome you to work either during the event or on the clean-up shift after
the event. 
The Braille Book Fair has become one of the highlights of the convention for
many teachers, parents, blind kids, blind parents, and adult beginning
Braille readers. But the event could not take place without the help of many
dedicated, talented volunteers. And that's where you come in. As a past
worker, or simply interested supporter of the Braille Book Fair, I hope you
can either volunteer, or give me the contact information for someone that
you recommend. You do not need to work the entire afternoon or evening, but
I do ask that you try to work an entire shift. 
We especially need for people who help customers to come BEFORE we open the
doors at 5:00 pm and to commit to staying until at least 6:30 pm. Book
lovers are great for this shift, as you will assist visitors in book
decisions/selections. Thanks so much for taking time to consider this
request, and I look forward to hearing from you soon! 
If you can help, please contact
