> Hello all,
>                 Below is the information regarding the Braille Readers are Leaders Contest. I have also attached a National Braille Resource list. A local resource list will be sent out soon. Please promote this to all your members. I know Ashleigh Moon has already reached out to you all regarding doing a local event to promote the contest. All blind individuals are encouraged to participate. There will be rewards for the most read braille pages in each age group. Please send me a list of your members near the end of the contest that you know have registered. As said in the past quarterly board meeting, I will donate $50 of my own funds to the chapter that recruits the most active readers. Let’s go promote Braille Literacy Across the State! Registration is now open!

> Hi, Colin.  Thankyou for your continued interest in this contest and willingness to recruit for it.  If you go to actionfund.org/BRAL you will find a general announcement about the contest; the rules will be posted in the next day or two along with the registration form.  The registration period begins November 1, 2019 and ends January 18, 2020.  The announcement (which I just read to confirm it’s there!) gives dates, an email address for electronic submission of questions and the contest entries, and an address for mailing hard copy at the discretion of the certifying authority.  Thanks again.

> Hi, Colin and Vicki.  I am pleased that Arizona is eager to participate in the 2019-2020 Braille Readers Are Leaders contest.  We are adding an adults category to encourage newly blind men and women in building reading speed and their enjoyment of recreational reading.  Your interest is appreciated and I will let you know when contest materials have been completed and we are ready to accept applicant and log information.  Happy recruiting and you will hear from me soon.
