4. Santa Letters:
Santa Claus has made the staff at the National Federation of the Blind 
Jernigan Institute honorary elves. He has asked us to help him send letters 
in Braille to very young blind boys and girls (those under the age of 10) in 
the United States.
Between November 12 and December 14, parents can go online at 
www.nfb.org/santa-letters<http://www.nfb.org/santa-letters> and fill out a 
Santa Braille Letter request form. The form can also be printed and faxed to 
410-685-2340.  Beginning December 3, the Braille letters from Santa will 
start going out to boys and girls around the country. The Braille letter 
will also be accompanied by a print copy (for mom and dad to read) as well 
as some other fun Christmastime activities.
The deadline for letter requests is December 14, to ensure that a return 
letter in Braille is received before Christmas.  For more information, 
please visit our website at www.nfb.org<http://www.nfb.org>.
