[rehab] FW: Writing opportunity for blind people

[Dick Davis]

Hello Everyone,
I am posting this letter and the attachment because it may be of interest to
some of you.  First of all, this is a self-employment opportunity for
individuals with writing skill.  It is not a job per se, but it should bring
in some money if it takes off.  There is no guarantee of that, so if you are
looking for guaranteed employment, look elsewhere.  The good thing about it
is that if you have writing skills and you are looking for work from hope
opportunities, it may be a good opportunity to bring in some needed cash.
Nick Cocchiarella is a graduate of BLIND, Inc.,  a writer, and an
entrepreneur.  He studied under Project Starfish when he was a student.
They did a good job with him.  I have vetted this organization, and they do
good work.  But as I say, these are self-employment opportunities, not jobs,
and you need an entrepreneurial streak.  Check it out.
Dick Davis, Chair
NFB Employment Committee

Hello Dick,

I thought I'd inform you of a writing opportunity for blind people that
recently arose, courtesy of a few of us from Project Starfish.

We - that is to sayBob Branco, Amanda eal, Nasreen and myself - have begun
to build a writer's guild, and are currently seeking interested writers. I
am attaching a flyer written by Mr. Branco that explains the project in
greater depth.

Feel free to show this to any students going through jobs class who might
benefit from this. Also, would it be possible to circulate this around the
other NFB centers as well as the NFB's Writers Devision?

Regards,
Nick Cocchiarella
