[NFBofSC] Braille Readers are Leaders Contest Wrapup!

[Jamie Allison]

For all of you who have waited so patiently, we now have results for the
2023 Braille Readers are Leaders contest for the NFB of SC!
The state had 5 adult readers within the affiliate that reported their
number of minutes, which is one more than we had last year.
Our top 3 readers were:
3rd place - Linda Dizzley - 1,480 minutes read
2nd place - Tracy Spittle - 3,838 minutes read
and,
1st place - Lenora Robertson - 5,625 minutes read
Shelley Coppel and Jamie Allison also participated this year.
Our first place winner will receive an award suitable for display.
For the district bragging rights, the top 3 districts were:
3rd place - district 4 - 1,371 minutes
2nd place - district 2 - 4,564 minutes
1st place - district 5 - 7,105 minutes
District 5 has taken home the bragging rights for this year, but the
competition was tough!

The grand total of minutes for all 5 readers was...

(Drumroll, please!)

13,040 minutes!
This is the equivalent to over 200 hours of reading! The passion for
Braille reading in SC is strong!
The participants will also receive a prize courtesy of the SC affiliate,
and we will randomly draw for at least one Braille-related prize, which
will be a Braille pop-it game and possibly one or two other items.
Please recognize these Dot Divas when you get the chance to, and if you
read Braille and you didn't sign up this year, please consider it for next
year! We'd love to have you come along for the read!
Thank you!
