[Pauline Smith]

Good evening. Hopefully we can get a bell program set up in Wayne County. That would make it easier for me to possibly volunteer to participate. Due to this sloppy, and mish mashed transportation that is in this area. We'll continue to watch developments about this with great interest.

> 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.
