Throwback Thursday: Denver Area Association of the Blind Buys Braillers

Today is another Throw Back Thursday #tbt! This week we are highlighting the activity of the blind in Denver 50 years ago. In this article, published in "The Blind American" in 1964, we get a peek into the activities of the organized blind of Denver.

Denverites Buy Braille Writers. Funds for the purchase of four braille
writers were authorized at a January meeting of the Denver Area
Association of the Blind as a means of encouraging the work of
community groups engaged in volunteer braille transcribing. Two of the
writers will be loaned indefinitely to the Denver Red Cross and to the
Sisterhood of Temple Emmanuel, two groups whose volunteer services
have been especially outstanding. Of the remaining two machines one
will be retained for the use of Association members, and one is to be
sold to a blind member with active writing interests.
