[Nfbf-l] Please help an NFBF Family win a Perkins SMART Brailler

Tue Sep 3 12:16:41 UTC 2013

Thanks Jim! And yes, it's really, really easy to vote. Voting
will continue every day until September 8th. There are six
families competing for the brailler with only 173 votes 
collectively so far. It won't take that many to put the Porter's
over the top!!! The Porter's are currently in 2nd place. 

Here is a little note from Misty - 

We’d sure love it if our family was selected and Marty could come live with us forever.  Alden is now in 1st grade and is brailling more than ever.  He's quickly surpassing me in braille knowledge.  Having access to a SMART brailler, on a permanent basis, would allow him to be a more independent learner.  It would also provide my family with the opportunity to work on our own braille skills.  Our family is very unique in that we are connected to the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind. Because of this we are both personally and professionally connected to a wide array of students, family, staff and professionals that would benefit from Marty as well.
Please vote for Alden so our family can be the lucky new permanent home to Mr. Marty the SMART Brailler! ~ Misty Porter

Hi all,

Please go to the web site shown below and help one of our own get this new
smart brailler for free.  It's so easy to do and you can vote each day until
it becomes final.  I would bet that we could put this family over the top if
everyone got on board and voted each day.  I just went and voted.  I'll bet
it didn't take me two minutes.

Thanks,
Jim Ellsworth

Hello everyone,

Please click on the link above and help out one of our NFBF families. Misty
Porter and her son
Alden live in St. Augustine. Alden is in the first grade and would benefit
greatly from winning
the Perkins SMART Brailler. This is a promotion that Perkins is doing and
Alden is competing
with 5 other families across the United States. 

They are currently in 2nd place and could really use our help to reach 1st
place and receive this
brailler. Voting is over September 8th and until then you can vote EVERY
DAY. Your help is 
greatly appreciated!!!

Just a little about Misty and her family - Misty's husband is a stay-at-home
Dad dedicating
his time to what needs to be done at home. After working for the North
Florida Education
Department as director of the Blind/VI Early Steps program for several
years, Misty is now
working with FSDB in St. Augustine. Alden has one brother, and the entire
family is dedicated
toward helping him grow to reach independence. 

Thanks so much for your support!
