Esteemed Federationists:
In our efforts to continue to build the Federation and ensure the blind 
children across the country have access to fun high-quality Braille 
instruction, every year we look to bring the NFB BELL program to new states. 
There are a number of affiliates who have been in touch over the last year 
to express their interest in hosting an NFB BELL program in 2015. In order 
to be considered to host an NFB BELL program in the summer of 2015, 
prospective affiliates must submit an application. Applications are 
available online<https://nfb.org/bell-program-online-application> for 
interested states to complete. Applications must be submitted no later than 
*September 30, 2014*..

Before completing the application, you may find it helpful to attend one of 
two informational conference calls. The calls will be held on

            August 11 at 8 PM Eastern, and
            August 28 at 9 PM Eastern
Call-in Number: 877-394-5901
            Access Code: 4720035

To help with your planning, the 2015 NFB BELL Program Timeline is attached 
to this email. A copy of the NFB BELL Program Affiliate Guidelines is 
attached here as well. Please review these documents prior to completing the 
application. If you have any questions or if you would like more 
information, please send me an email at 
nshaheen at nfb.org<mailto:nshaheen at nfb.org>.

Braille Rocks!

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the 
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles 
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; 
blindness is not what holds you back.
