Happy Monday all,
The Tampa Bay Rays in the World  Series?  Who would ever have dreamed it
could happen back in April,  when we were saying we'd be happy if we won half
our games!

Although  our NFB has lots of wonderful things planned for celebrating the
Louis  Braille bicentennial, there's room for all.  We can never have  too
much education!!  So here's the latest National Braille Press news  about how
they are commemorating Louis's birthday.

Go  Rays!!

Sherrill

Louis Turns 200!

National Braille Press has been busy  planning a virtual birthday party
in anticipation of Louis Braille's  bicentennial this January 4th.  We're
sending this notice out early,  so you have time to help us spread the
word about a genius  inventor.

First, we commissioned artist Judith Krimski to design a new  image of
Louis that would respect his place in history and illuminate  the
vitality of his vision today. Her stunning Louis icon appears on  almost
every Bicentennial commemorative item listed below.

Read  about the icon image  here:
http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/louis/about_icon.html

Next, we  designed a half-dozen, low-cost items that you can use to
spread the word  about Louis's Bicentennial --starting today and
throughout 2009! All of  these items can be purchased at our new  website
http://www.LouisBrailleBicentennial.com

Louis Lapel Pins.  Our goal is to have everyone who cares about Louis
wearing his lapel pin  this January 4th-and every other day! It even has
teeny-tiny braille  letters across the bottom. Get your whole company to
participate! $5 each,  plus shipping.

Louis Note Cards. Keep in touch with friends and family  with these
gorgeous 4.25" x 5" note cards. Includes 10 cards and envelopes  in a
sturdy card box: $7.99 for the set, plus shipping.

Bicentennial  Wall Poster. Perfect for any classroom, this beautifully
illustrated 12.25"  x 17" poster celebrates the life and achievements of
Louis Braille with  images from France. Free-you pay for shipping only.

Print/braille  Bookmarks. Perfect for the classroom, library or the
office, these colorful  bookmarks feature our Louis image and facts about
his life. In packages of  30 for $8, or 50 for $12, plus shipping.

Braille Key Chains. These  unique gold-plated coin key chains measure
1.5" in diameter. On one side,  the words "Louis Braille 1809" appear in
braille, and the reverse side  shows hands reading braille and the words
"Braille Opens Doors" Designed  and produced by Paul and Bernie Dressell:
$5, plus shipping.

Tactile  Louis. Commemorate the 200th birthday of Louis with this signed
and  numbered, limited edition, ivory-colored, cast resin plaque,
sculpted by  tactile artist Ann Cunningham. Hang it on a wall or display
it on the wire  stand that comes with each plaque: $45, plus shipping.

Whatever you do,  celebrate Braille. These make great holiday gifts!
