We need people to help with activities and crafts from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. We also need people to help set up and clean up. If you’d rather do that just come early and stay a little late to lend a hand. We are asking if you’re able to please bring a bag of candy to hand out during the “trick or treating” part of the evening (we will have stations around the campus for kids to walk through and get candy. The Greater Louisville chapter will provide all craft materials and some candy as well. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lastly, on Saturday October 26 we will have a booth at the 10<sup>th</sup> Annual Bardstown Bound Boo-Fest from 2pm to 8pm. We will be located in the parking lot of the William Dean Salon at 1265 Bardstown Rd. (across the street from Mid-City Mall). Traffic will be open on Bardstown road, so getting to the parking lot should not be a problem. We need a lot of help for this event. If you can volunteer for 2-3 hours it would be much appreciated. We would like to demonstrate Braille, cane and/or dog travel, do tactile activities with kids and hand out lots of NFB literature and candy. We will also have a 50/50 raffle at this event and proceeds will go toward our pledge to the national office of the NFB. Please email or call me at 262-1403 if you would like to volunteer. Let me know what time you can work and if you can bring anything like a Braille writer, slate and stylus, magnifier, monocular, etc. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We’ve had some ambitious goals this month with all these events, but together we can make this a successful Meet the Blind Month campaign.
