[Tall-Corn] Meet the blind in April

[Richard]

Greetings colleagues,

The Southeast Iowa chapter will be conducting a bit of public education 
this Saturday, a little "Meet the blind" activity in April.

The event will take place This Saturday, April 9 in lieu of our regular 
chapter meeting at Westland Mall in West Burlington, Ia.

Of course we plan to do the usual distribution of literature, including 
braille alphabet cards and offer the usual demonstrations such as put 
the sighted person under shades and hand him/her a long white cane.

We'll have a few adaptive tools such as measuring devices for the home 
and workshop available plus adapted games, etc.

Anyone in eastern Iowa, or anywhere else for that matter, which would 
like to take part please meet us at the main entrance of WEstland Mall 
Saturday morning around 10:00 a.m.  This is especially true if you have 
something you'd like to contribute such as adapative tools and 
equipment.

The mall isn't as busy as it was in past years, but I'm sure we'll find 
a few folks expressing an interest in what we're about.

If possible come join us, Saturday, April 9.  We'll probably remain on 
site as long as we can muster volunteers that day.


Regards,

Richard Webb
