Subject: Conference Call Follow Up


As a follow up to our Conference call about selling the remaining Louis Braille coins, I have attached 2 documents.

Their is a great article in the Lions Club publication that talks about the coin and Braille in general and I have attached a document of talking points suggested by Baltimore specifically for us.

It is a daunting task but we should all try and do our part.

Talk about it with your chapter and division members and we wil definitely talk about it some more at our September Board meeting.

I am still trying to get a sense of our financial health so at this point I'm not sure how many if any resources will be available from a State level but this should not keep us as chapters and individuals from trying to do all that we can to sell as many coins as possible before our time to do so runs out.
