Hi, Cindy. I do know about them and they are legit, but as far as being the
largest resource, I don't believe that. There are other resources that are
more well-known than they are, but they are legit, anyway. Take care.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] American Action Fund
One problem with donating money is that the
organizations exchange or sell their lists and one
becomes besieged with requests -- all good causes, but
a middle-income person can't donate to everybody.
Today I received a solicitation, (and yet another
beautiful calendar -- that makes 6 or 7) from the
American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults. It
looks legit, but I was wondering what any of you know
about it and if you've benefitted from it. According
to the letter it's "one of the country's most
important resources for Braille reading materials for
blind and deaf-vlind children," and "the largest
resource in the world for specialized equipment for
Braille reading and printing." Alsok they provide
Braille calendars. (I wonder what they do about
picture books; Is it possible to do illustrations in
Braille, i.e., to use dots to outline characters
and/or things like trees and animals in a picture?)
This seems worthwhile to me but I wanted to check it
out. As a side note, apropos of a much earlier
discussion, they capitalize the word Braille.
Cindy
