> Hi Museum Friends,
>  
> I’m writing to remind you of our Louis Braille program this coming Saturday, January 25, at 10:30. We’re celebrating the life and accomplishments of Louis Braille.  Below I’ve pasted a description of the event.  Also, there will be cake!

> Join us for This is Your Life, Louis Braille
> January is National Braille Literacy Awareness Month
>  
> Come celebrate National Braille Literacy Awareness Month and Louis Braille’s birthday on Saturday, January 25, from 10:30 am until 12:30pm.  The event is free, but space is limited, so reservations are needed. Call Katie Carpenter at (502) 899-2213 to reserve a space.
>  
> We’ll honor the achievements and legacy of Louis Braille, the inventor of the code used worldwide by those who are blind to read and write and enjoy some distinctly French refreshments.

> This is Your Life, Louis Braille
> The program is presented in interview format, similar to the TV show from the ‘50s—but the questions and events portrayed disregard all limitations of time and space, covering Louis’s lifetime (1809-1852), and beyond.  They begin with his childhood in Coupvray, France, and end with Louis discovering that his contribution to the betterment of humanity has been recognized by the French government on the anniversary of his death, when his body is reburied in 1952 alongside those French heroes and leaders in the Pantheon in Paris.

> The people who have been “assembled” to surprise Louis with stories about special parts of his life include not only family and friends, but some who never met Louis, personally, but benefitted from his achievement.
>  
> Cast includes:
> Louis Braille, played by Alan Lovell
> Monique Braille, Louis’s mother, played by Pat Mohon
> Valentin Hauy, the founder of Louis’s school, played by Jack Francis
