<div style="direction: ltr;">Hello everyone,</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">We're exploring the idea of starting a Braille Book Club, and we'd love to see how much interest there is within our community!</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">The goal is to create a welcoming space where Braille readers can come together to discuss books, share perspectives, improve Braille literacy, and connect with others who enjoy reading. Whether you're a lifelong Braille reader
or just beginning your Braille journey, everyone is welcome.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">At this stage, we're simply looking to gauge interest. If you'd like to participate or would like to receive more information as plans develop, please email orlando at
<a href="mailto:orlymeraz1@gmail.com" id="OWA6b8ee050-05a2-e74b-e8f0-f99579d96790" class="OWAAutoLink">
orlymeraz1@gmail.com</a> as we hear back from everyone, we'll begin gathering input on topics such as:</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">- How often the club should meet.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">- Preferred meeting days and times.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">- Types of books you'd enjoy reading.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">- Whether meetings should be held in person, virtually, or a combination of both.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">We look forward to hearing from you and hope to build a fun, engaging community of Braille readers together!</div>
