<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;">My name is
Aisling Redican, I am Communications and Fundraising
Manager for Xavier Society for
the Blind in New York City. Xavier Society has been
providing free braille, large print, and Talking Books to
people who are blind, visually impaired, and print disabled,
worldwide since 1900. We have patrons throughout the United States
and in 25 other countries and our books aid our
patrons in learning about and practicing
their Faith. We hope to reach many more people interested
in our free offerings in South Carolina.</span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;">I am also
wondering if you could also help us get some information directly
to your members. We have
hundreds of books available in braille and
Talking Book ranging from spiritual and religious to uplifting and
'feel good' titles that are more inspirational than theology based.
A complete listing of our titles can be found by <a href="https://xsfb.klas.com/search/search.jsf?f=-Digital+Serial*medium_ss%3ADigital%5C+Serial&p=0&q=&i=_text_&s=-dateadded_dt&l=false&mc=0">clicking here.</a> We are very active
on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/XavierSociety">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/xaviersociety/">Instagram</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/XavierSociety">Twitter
feed</a> where we share new additions to our catalog, clients
stories, and other news pertaining to our organization daily. I
would also be happy to mail brochures, flyers, and other
informational materials in braille and print if you'd like. People
can register with us by giving us a call at 800-637-9193 or
emailing us at <a>info@xaviersocietyfortheblind.org</a></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;">One of our biggest
lines of service is the Propers of the Mass
(basically the missalette), which includes the readings, prayers,
and responses to the Mass on Sundays and Special feast days and is
available each month in braille, audio, and large print. In
addition, we also produce braille textbooks for
children in CCD and adults in RCIA.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;">We would also
be happy to coordinate the mailing
of <i>The Funny Alphabet</i>. This is a great
book that teaches babies and young children the
braille alphabet, with tactile examples for each letter (i.e.
a koala bear for the letter K). It is available in English and
Spanish. The video attached highlights this and some of our other
offerings available to children and young adults.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Over the last
couple of years, XSB has been trying to reach many more
people in need of materials. One of our main
initiatives has been to expand our braille
and audio offerings in Spanish. We currently have
seven audiobooks
available in Talking Book format. This format
is compatible with the talking book machines
provided by the National Library Service for
the Blind and Print Disabled. The titles we have
are:</span></p>
