[Nfbf-l] Louis Braille

[Sherrill O'Brien]

Joe,
Thanks so much to you and your chapter members who worked hard on this
important project.

By the way, National is keeping a record of all the events which are being
done to commemorate Braille's bicentennial.  I will send you the email
telling about this, so you can write something up.  If you'd rather I simply
forward this on to them, I'll do that.  Just let me know.  Great job,
Jacksonville!!

Sherrill

On Saturday January 10  the Jacksonville chapter held an event promoting
Braille literacy.
We had NFB literature, Braille cards, and tactile games the KNFB reader, and
of course the material promoting the Louis Braille coin. From 10:00 a.m. to
4:00 P.M. at the avenues mall people were educated about the need for
Braille, and the Louis Braille coin.
We were able to get literature in many peoples hands, and made contacts.
special thanks to Marita Winston and Larry and Lenora Martin for organizing
, and working the event the chapter did a good job as many members showed up
to help in all it was a good day
