[Nfbf-l] A Great Volunteer Opportunity

[roanna bacchus]

Dear Federation Family,

I found a great volunteer opportunity for anyone in the Orlando 
area.  The 2018 East Florida Braille Challenge is coming to 
Orlando on Friday February ninth from 8-30 Am to 4-30 Pm.  The 
Braille Challenge is a national competition created by the 
Braille Institute in Los Angelis, California to reward blind 
students for their proficiency in the use of braille.  Regional 
competitions are held around the state from January through March 
at the beginning of each year.  The Florida Instructional 
Materials Center for the Visually Impaired located in Tampa 
coordinates each competition.  They need volunteers to run the 
event by helping with tasks like guiding students all day and 
passing out refreshments during the morning and afternoon 
sessions.  If you would like to volunteer at this event, please 
let me know and I will put you in touch with Sue Glaser.  Thank 
you and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Roanna Bacchus
