[Nfbf-l] Christmas Party

[Mark]

Yes, and even if we don't actually do it on January 4, I think I will go and 
talk with people in our church about the importance of Braille literacy and 
hand out literature.

>> Well, fellow Federationists, we just had our Martin County Chapter
>> Christmas
>> party, the first of many, I hope.  It was nice.  Our secretary just took
>> the
>> bull by the horns and made calls to make sure everyone was bringing
>> something.  It was a pot luck with ham, turkey, garlic mashed potatoes,
>> yams, raw vegies, and dessert and coffee and soda.  We had a grab bag at
>> the
>> end and a split the pot raffle as we do at all our meetings.  Our vice
>> president brought out an instrument called an omniboard and played and
>> sang
>> carols we sang along to.  It was nice too because we had a new potential
>> member and someone who just joined last month, and we invited our reader,
>> Sharon, and her two children, one of whom is blind.  I'd say it went
>> rather
>> well.  It was great, too, that considering what our transportation
>> situation
>> is like here, people who are sighted, even one who is not yet a member 
>> but
>> whom we invited, pitched in and drove people.
