That's what I thought too. Comcast has made some changes and my email has been crazy since then. The date on Sherrill's email is October 22. I just got it today.

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!
