One will address highlights of the January, 2016 transition to the UEB (Unified English Braille) code. The other will be an introduction to Braille, content to be very basic. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We will be distributing handouts for each workshop. Workshops will be offered twice, each to last approximately one and a half hours. We realize that, in each hour and a half time block, we will speak to a mixture of participants—some desiring to learn more about UEB and others to have a basic introduction to Braille. Therefore, Marianne and I have discussed the probability of dividing the entire group for each time block into two groups respectively—those learning UEB and those learning intro to Braille. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are asking that, if you even think you might attend a Braille workshop on Friday, please notify me, Debbie Baker, as soon as possible. Please do not reply to this email. You may notify me, (off list, only, please, <a href="mailto:bakerdebra53@gmail.com">bakerdebra53@gmail.com</a>. If you do not have access to a computer, you may call me at (937) 471-5193. Marianne and I would like an approximate participant count in order to emboss enough handouts. Of course we will probably have a few extras, but if we have a count ahead of time, you are less likely to feel excluded from our workshop content. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please remember that the other workshops that are offered during the same blocks of time in the agenda are IOS devices, Windows 10 and the NFB Structured Discovery method of orientation.
