Subject: [Nfb-lions] Last Chance to Help Braille Literacy with Coin Purchase
Message-ID: <auto-000130174006@mailfront2.g2host.com>

Christmas Header

The holiday season is upon us?a time when we turn 
our focus, more than any other part of the year, 
to giving.  This year, give a gift that really counts?a
future full of opportunity for a blind child!

Today far too many blind children and adults in 
America are being refused Braille instruction by 
both schools and rehabilitation agencies, and many who
are receiving a Braille education are given 
inadequate instruction.  There is a way you can help.

When you purchase the Louis Braille Bicentennial 
Silver Dollar, not only will you receive the 
first U.S. coin to feature readable, tactile Braille, but
$10 from the sale of each coin will also go to 
the National Federation of the Blind?s efforts to 
end this Braille literacy crisis.  That?s a gift anyone
would be proud to give.

But time is running out! You have just a few days 
left to purchase this exceptional coin and leave 
your mark on this crisis.  Visit the
U.S. Mint?s Web site
  or
www.braille.org,
or call 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468) by December 11, 
2009, to give the gift of Braille literacy 
today.  The United States Mint guarantees delivery by December
25, 2009, on any in-stock item, anywhere in the 
United States on orders placed by December 7, 
2009, for standard delivery, and December 11, 2009, for express
delivery.  Orders over $300 will receive free expedited shipping.

If you've already purchased the Louis Braille 
Bicentennial Silver Dollar, consider making a
matching gift
  to the ?Braille Readers are Leaders? 
campaign.  It is a great way to multiply the 
impact of your purchase.  We at the National Federation of the Blind
thank you for your devotion to America?s blind 
and wish you the happiest of holiday seasons!

Hi all,

I am a new member to this list, so I decided to write and introduce
myself here. My name is Adrijana and I am a blind lady of 30 and an
English teacher working in a school for blind children in Macedonia.
Unfortunatelly, we do not have an NFB branch in my country, but I
recently became a member of one of our local Lions clubs called
Denarius and was thrilled when I also found out there is an NFB lions
club list. I am always happy to share information and learn from other
members, as well as make some new friends on the way too. If you wish
to write to me privately or on the list, feel free to do so.

Adrijana

Welcome Adrijana,

I'm glad to see a Lion from another country. The NFB Lions group is a loose
and informal group. We get together once a year at the national convention
of the National Federation of the Blind.

The next national convention will be held from July 3-8 in Dallas, Texas.

Membership to the Lions or the National Federation of the Blind is not a
requirement to participate on this list.

We have two Lions members who are members of the National Federation of the
Blind that co-chair this group . Ramona Walhoff is one of the Chairs and I'm
the other.

As a Lion member, Lions International publishes the Lion Magazine and it is
available on cassette by contacting Books Aloud, Inc. their contact info is
as follows:

Street Address

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library (Lower Level)
150 E. San Fernando Street
San Jose, CA 95112 

You can also contact them by e-mail at: info at booksaloud.org

Please don't hesitate to write to this list.

information about the list.  Some of us don't use it enough to share what 
Lions are doing in our various clubs.  But don't hesitate to do so.
I repeat we are glad to have you.
