[NFBMI-Talk] FW: Information from Thursday's Braille and Talking Book Library (BTB)L Consumer Involvement Committee (CI)C Meeting

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hello,

 

Below is information about a presentation at the Braille and Talking Book
Library Consumer Involvement Committee meeting this week.  Between Mary and
me, we have served on this group for decades, now.  If you have questions,
please let me know.

 

The Michigan Historical Center (MHC) Is gathering stories and other
impressions of Michigan citizens related to our experiences during the
Covid-19 crisis.  These pieces can be of any media or form that you choose.
Anyone can record a memo or other statement about feelings, people, events
or other thoughts.  It could be a poem, a story, fiction or non-fiction.  In
other words, historians are trying to get a snapshot of Michigan citizens
experiences and reactions to Covid-19.

 

I think some pieces from Michigan Federationists would add value and texture
to the collection of reflections/impressions of the Covid-19 event.

As an aside, Diana Engle is a blind employee of the MHC and serves on the
Library Consumer Involvement Committee.

 

 

Warmest Regards,

 

Fred
