[Nfbf-l] Louis Braille

[April Ogden]

Hi Joe,
My name is April Ogden, and I facilitate a support group for people that are blind. Our support group meets at ILAB each month to hold meetings.
I would be very  interested if someone from your organization, who reads Braille, can present to our group on the history of Louis Braille, for at least 30 minutes.
The day and time that I would request   a speaker from your organization would be on Friday, January 16, 2009 at 9:45 am to 10:15 am.
Please  let me know if someone from your organization would be able to present to our group, as this would help to encourage more people to understand the history  of braille.
Sincerely,
April OgdenApril_Ogden at hotmail.com
