Subject: [NFBofSC] Braille Readers are Leaders Contest Wrapup!

 

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!
