We have had five dedicated ladies who are passionate about Braille and sharing the importance of Braille literacy, but we can use some help! We usually meet on zoom on the second Monday of each month at 6:30 pm. If you "rock the dots" and want to share the tune, come and join the Braille band! Please reach out to President McKenzie and let him know you're interested. I also want to say a hearty thank you to all of the members who have served in the committee over the past several years, most of whom have also had other leadership roles within the organization at the same time. We have been small, yet we are mighty! Thanks, everyone! <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span class=gmailsignatureprefix>-- </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Jamie R.
