Acknowledgements

Because so many members and friends of the American Council of the Blind responded so generously to our annual fall fund- raiser, “The Braille Forum” chose to list those contributors over several months. Contributors’ names are, therefore, published according to alphabetic listings of the states where they reside, in May, June, July, and August issues of “The Braille Forum.”

ACB wishes to thank its many members and friends who gave so generously in response to our fall 2000 letter requesting support for ACB’s ongoing programs and services. This partial list of donors reflects only those people who gave us permission to publicly acknowledge their gifts.
