JANUARY EVENT

AT THE

ANN ARBOR DISTRICT LIBRARY


Saturday, January 14

·       03:30 pm-05:00 pm Lecture: Being Blind In Michigan at Downtown 
Library: Multi-Purpose Room

Did you know that it is respectable to be blind? Did you know that with the 
right training and opportunity, a blind person can compete on an equal basis 
with his/her sighted peers? This is true for all aspects of life from 
employment to family life and hobbies.

Presenter Terri Wilcox uses alternative skills of blindness to fulfill her 
responsibilities as Secretary of the National Federation of the Blind of 
Michigan. Braille is one of these alternative skills. Did you know that it 
is possible to read Braille at three hundred words per minute or more (Both 
Terri and husband do this)?  Yet, only ten percent of blind children are 
being taught Braille.

The National Federation of the Blind is changing this sad statistic one life 
at a time. Through her work  - especially as coordinator of the programming 
at  the 2011 Braille Camp sponsored by National Federation of the Blind of 
Michigan. Terri Wilcox is helping to change what it means to be blind in 
Michigan.

Join her for this important discussion. For more information on this event, 
call the Library at 327-4555 or visit our website at aadl.org.
