[Arizona-students] 11th Annual Vision Rehabilitation and Technology Expo VRATE Reminder

Sun Nov 18 21:27:09 CST 2007

This was a very poorly organized conference. I think out of the 34  
booths only 4 had braille. and the champs of braille you know the nfb  
had only book share info in braille. I was told by alicin and bob that  
although they had a braille embosser they had no matterials to hand  
ouit in braille. this shocks me greatly. yet we should be atracted to  
this group why? and I do want braille on local group issues. I don't  
praise drm mower.
