[NFBMDTLC-Chapter] [MDABS] Where is Braille Bettie

[LaShawn Myles -LBPH-]

Good Morning,
MD LBPH is excited about sharing the value of Braille Literacy across the
state. Bettie has been busy traveling and reading in many places across
Maryland.   Thank you Ms. Maneki for sharing this information.  If you have
additional questions, you can reach me at lashawn.myles at maryland.gov.

Thank you,
LaShawn
