Unusual things sometimes take place at the National Center for the Blind. Even when commonplace activities occur (like a Baltimore Chapter meeting) the camera sometimes catches out-of-the-ordinary events like the picture (above left).
July 14 provided a number of opportunities for unusual pictures. The Materials Center was finally ready for restocking and use. But first it had to be thoroughly cleaned. We could have hired a company at considerable expense to come in and do the job. We could have left it to the maintenance department to get the job done as it could over a period of weeks. Or we could do what we usually do and ask everyone on staff to devote a day to get the huge space ready for operation. That's what we did, and these pictures record the day.
