ï‚·
  Braille skills (including if you read by touch 
or by sight as a sighted person)
Note:  If you are a parent of a blind child under 
the age 18 (or still in high school or below), we
know that you will want to attend the NOPBC 
Annual Meeting which takes place just before the
BBF, but we would welcome you to work either 
during the event or on the clean-up shift after
the event.

The Braille Book Fair has become one of the 
highlights of the convention for many teachers,
parents, blind kids, blind parents, and adult 
beginning Braille readers.  But the event could not
take place without the help of many dedicated, 
talented volunteers.  And that's where you come
in.  As a past worker, or simply interested 
supporter of the Braille Book Fair, I hope you can
either volunteer, or give me the contact 
information for someone that you recommend.

You do not need to work the entire afternoon or 
evening, but I do ask that you try to work an
entire shift.  We especially need for people who 
help customers to come BEFORE we open the
doors at 5:00 pm and to commit to staying until 
at least 6:30 pm. Book lovers are great for this
shift, as you will assist visitors in book decisions/selections.

Thanks so much for taking time to consider this 
request, and I look forward to hearing from you
soon!
