> My name is Keiko Namekata and I am a volunteer at SightConnection.  I retired from Department of Services for the Blind in December of 12014 as the Program Manager for the Orientation and Training Center.  
>  
> Diane Farrell, fellow volunteer, and I are very much interested in generating interest and enthusiasm for braille among blind and visually impaired people in our community.  Attached is a flyer announcing our intro to braille workshop, A Touch of Braille.  This is not intended to teach workshop participants how to read braille but wet their appetite for learning braille.  Since this is our first attempt to conduct this type of a workshop at SightConnection, we would appreciate your assistance in spreading the word among your membership.
