WHEREAS, Braille is a vital communications medium for the blind; and
WHEREAS, there is an alarming decrease in the availability of a wide variety of Braille materials, and
WHEREAS, the lack of these materials prevents the blind from taking advantage of opportunities available to the general public; and
WHEREAS, the best way that this despicable downward trend can be reversed is for the blind of Maryland to stimulate the production of these materials; and
WHEREAS, a successful vehicle for accomplishing this purpose is the establishment and stimulation of Braille Action Committees; and
WHEREAS, it is the goal of the National Association to Promote the Use of Braille {NAPUB) to have a Braille Action Committee in every state of the union; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland in Convention assembled this second day of November 1985, in the City of Ocean City, Maryland, that this organization form and vigorously support the activities of a state-wide Braille Action Committee; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Committee report on its
activities at the annual convention, and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the President appoint members of the Committee in consultation with local Chapter Presidents.
