[Nfbc-info] Literacy spokes people at the pizza feast

[Michael Peterson]

Here's a new reason to come to the pizza feast next week.
If all goes as planned Terra and I will bring our video camera and ask those 
of you who will to talk about braille literacy.  We will post the stories on 
www.lifesrace.com and if the affiliate wants will send copies of the files 
to be posted on either the main website or division websites.
This might help in the sell of braille coins.  If you have children high 
school and younger it would be great for them to be posted with their story. 
It gives them a great opportunity to in addition to enjoying pizza,
 be a part of the action, the work of the Federation.
But if your a little bit older than high school like me, we certainly would 
welcome your interviews as well.

I do hope to share this video  with a class I will be guest lecturing at 
online which I do for this professor on a regular basis.It will be a good 
nonprofessional piece for public education.

I know it might be noisy inside so we will have people step outside for the 
filming.
We also want to from the viewpoint of walkers film our walk across the 
goldengate bridge.
We don't want to do a newscast type filming because Terra wants to 
participate in the walk but we do want to show our friends and web visitors 
how determined blind people are to improve braille literacy!
If Terra gets this on film we will give a copy of the bridgewalk To Mary to 
use if she likes.
Either way we hope to post it on our site
www.lifesrace.com
We do have the NFB braille literacy video  there so viewers can see the 
louis braille coins and hopefully buy some.

The reason we have a video camera is for my advanced practicum I needed to 
do several 30-minute interviews on videotape.
I don't work in a field office or at an agency yet so I had to find a way to 
do this.
End result we bought an ultra flip camcorder.
It will in addition to helping with my classes also help blind folks across 
America become more braille literate so they too can earn master's degrees 
if they choose or even their  G E D if that is the level they want to 
attain,  but at the end of their studies braill literacy will helpthem 
find and enjoy the benefits of full employment and social participation.

Whether you Feel comfortable on video or just want to enjoy the food and 
friendship be sure to attend the pizza feast!
Help us raise money so we can make bigger and better things happen in the 
Golden State of California!
Pizza for some!
 Literacy for all!
