[nfbwatlk] WTBBL PAC update.

[Mike Mello]

Hello:

 On Monday (02/15/2010) at 1:30 P.M. Members of the PAC and others will be meeting at my apartment buildings (400 wall st) common room to stuff 
envelopes for a mailing that we are sending out. This project is sponsored by both NFBW and WCB. I am asking for people who have the time to come and 
help. Food will be provided, please contact me off list or at 208-301-0565 so i have a count for ordering pizza.
Thanks, and the text of the letter follows.

-Mike.

Dear Patron:

	The Washington Talking Book & Braille Library (WTBBL) needs your help now!
	This is a terrible economic time in Washington State, and the crisis has reached your library.  WTBBL has had to reduce staffing by six people.  
These cuts will directly impact your library service.
	WTBBL is a program of the Washington State Library, which is a division of the Office of the Secretary of State.  Please contact your legislators 
and ask that they restore funding for the Washington Talking Book & Braille Library.  Tell your legislators that the funding for WTBBL appears in the 
Secretary of States budget.
	Again, please phone your legislators to help restore the WTBBL budget in order to prevent any further devastating cuts.  The phone number for 
the Legislative Hotline is (800) 562-6000.  

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Members of the Patron Advisory Council



Michael J. Mello
