Dear Michigan Federationists:

     The National Federation of the Blind of Michigan plans to hold a
Braille Enrichment Literacy and Learning Program during the first two weeks
of August in 2014. This program and curriculum has been developed by the
national office of the National Federation of the Blind. It is geared for
students four to twelve years of age. We plan to have the program in Oakland
or Wayne Counties. The program will be able to serve between five and
fifteen children. It is a day program that runs for two weeks during the
typical school day. My husband and I, who are both blind and read Braille at
300 words per minute, will be teaching and mentoring the children. We would
also like to collaborate with a certified teacher of blind students. This
teacher would need to have a belief in Braille as a reading medium for blind
students even if they have some residual vision. We would like the
individual to have a strong belief in skills of blindness for all blind
children, such as the use of Braille and the long white cane for travel.
Members of the National Federation of the Blind would like to interview
individuals that you think fit this description and who may be interested in
collaborating with the National Federation of the Blind of Michigan to
assist with the program. Would you be willing to send me names and email
addresses of teachers that might be interested? Thank you very much for your
time and attention concerning this important matter.

Sincerely,
Terri Wilcox
Secretary, National Federation of the Blind of Michigan
Ann Arbor Chapter President
Bell Program Coordinator
