[Cccnfbw] Braille reading program

[MerriBeth Manning]

Mike I think that is true for any thing kids are involved in.  Of course, we keep it fun and intresting and they will stay or bring friends. 



Is this the say thing that Don is doing for the radio reading program? 



Being a partial, I don't use braille as much as I should.  Ineed to brush up on it.  This could be a good way to do it.  Don can you post more info on when and where?

With respect, what guarantees will we have that kids will show up for 
more than one or two meetings? I was initially quite enthusiastic about 
reading projects with WSSB but, frankly, haven't seen a great deal of 
encouragement from WSSB staff for students to participate. The first 
meeting or two are always well-attended. But as soon as the birthday 
parties and more interesting social events get underway, our reading 
project always seems to be put on the back-burner. Such behavior tends 
to dampen my enthusiasm somewhat. 

On the other hand, it would be super-cool if we could get WSSB to 
encourage participation in our Braille Readers are Leaders contest.

Hello list members Don is looking for people to help with his braille 
reading program at WSSB It would be really great if some of you could 
step 
up and help. This would be very rewarding to you and would be a Godsend 
for 
the kids that are involved in the program. We really need to encourage 
and 
support these kids learning and reading braille. Thanks
