Successful service on one of our Braillo 600s! Completely broke it down, changed sponges, greased it up, cleaned everything and reassembled. It sounds happy and is purring.

Proud to support such a wonderful organization!

Less than two weeks until the start of this year's conference! We're almost packed up and ready to hit the road to Cincinnati. Before that though, we want to be sure and thank Aloha Braille for one of our Silver Sponsors this year.

You may have noticed the costs of nearly everything have increased this year, and that includes the costs associated with producing this conference. We're proud to say that we didn't have to raise the cost of registration this year, but that's only because of the support of folks like Aloha Braille!
