(PRWEB) June 9, 2009 -- Braille Works continues its mission of "Making The World A More Readable Place". Read "Finding a Need, Filling It" by Ashley Grant, St. Petersburg Times Correspondent, to find out how Braille Works was established to provide access to the blind and visually impaired communities through their Braille printing services. Lou Fioritto, who has been blind since birth, was out of a job and needed a way to make money and he wanted to help people like himself. Braille Works was established in 1994 and has grown continually ever since.
Marion Gwizdala-Schoch, the NFB East Hillsborough Chapter President (FL) said "What is great about this article is that it does not sensationalize the accomplishments of the blind, but portrays Lou & Joyce Fioritto as successful entrepreneurs because they didn't take their eyes off the prize!" Founded in 1940, The Nation Federation of the Blind is the largest organization of the blind in America having over 50,000 members and growing strong.
Print Production Manager at Applebee's Services, Inc., Liz Holmes says "While I agree that both Lou and Joyce are "entrepreneur-minded", I have to say that they are both wonderful, caring people. This is very evident in the way they treat their customers and the quality of their products. Sometimes it seems that restaurant guests love to complain, but I've never had a complaint on the Braille and large print menus produced by Braille Works. Thanks Lou and Joyce, I am so glad you called me all those years ago!" Braille Works has been providing Braille and large print restaurant menus to Applebee's since 1994.
