<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Hello Marci,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">It\u2019s been a little while since we last connected, I hope all is going well with you. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I wanted to reach out to let you know about another tactile map testing opportunity for Sound Transit\u2019s tactile maps. This time we are looking for participants who read braille to test symbology for the \u201cLine Maps\u201d that are in development, as a part of our Tactile Maps project. The line maps are being developed as full size pages, for training, and we also would like to produce a \u201cpocket edition\u201d that can be portable. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Sound Transit and Portland State University (led by Prof. Amy Parker) will be holding this testing session on <strong>Wednesday Aug. 27<sup>th</sup></strong> at the ST Great Hall building (in the Santa Fe room) from <strong>10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m..</strong> The schedule is loosely structured so that it allows for people to come and go as they need to during those four hours. There will be a $25 digital gift card for each participant (generated by PSU). We will have snacks and light refreshments available. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">If you could please spread the word it would be greatly appreciated! Anyone who is interested in attending can feel free to either email or call me directly with what time they would like to attend. My cell phone is <a href="tel:(425)457-6778">(425) 457-6778</a>. I would like to have a final count of participants by end of day August 15<sup>th</sup>. </span></p>
