Letter to Braille Readers

 

July 15, 2008

Dear Braille Readers,


Now that school is over, we want to encourage you to enter the National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut's "Braille Readers are Leaders" summer reading program. The enclosed application explains the rules and regulations.

If you want to participate, begin keeping track of pages read on Monday, July 21st. The contest ends on Wednesday, October 15th, White Cane Safety Day.

Reading books can open up a world of adventure and discovery for you. Pick out a shady tree in your yard or a lovely sandy spot at the beach and read, read, read - just like all the other kids. We hope you will participate. We are sure your parents, Braille teacher and/or librarian will help you select books if you wish and keep track of pages read.

Have a wonderful summer, and we look forward to receiving your application by October 21st.

Sincerely,
Gigi Yanez-Hamberger
Braille Readers are Leaders Contest Committee
