Oh, I see what you're saying! Just a clarification: you'd 
probably be right, however I believe that this particular 
position is volunteer.  Chase could clarify that, although I'm 
pretty sure it is volunteer, as Chase Crispin, who is the 
executive producer of the show, is a freshman in high school.  
Wouldn't ACB run into child labor law problems if they were 
paying him to do that job?

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

Mary:

I do not disagree.  However, my point was that it would be highly 
unlikely
for a NFB member to work or be hired by an entity operated by 
ACB.  Despite
the fact that we have successfully worked together on various
blindness-related projects, our philosophies of blindness are 
still
sufficiently different from one another that there might be 
difficulties.

Merry Christmas!

Mike

Mike, I hope by me stating the following I represent the rest of  
the folds
on this list.  WE are all blind or visually impaired regardless 
what entity
produces the show OR represents us.  I think it is very inspiring 
to see
those who are technologically savvy to share what they know with 
the rest
of us.

Merry Christmas!!!

 This may be a good opportunity for some of our tech experts! 
Main Menu is
a
 great show, and any of you who have listened to it know how 
informative it
 is.  I'm sure some of you would be a great addition to their 
team! Please
 see the below message from their executive producer, Chase 
Crispin for
more
 information.

 Greetings Main Menu listeners, supporters, and friends,

 In order to continue to make Main Menu a better show covering 
all types of
 technology usable by the blind and visually impaired and to 
produce weekly
 unique and exciting content, we are seeking to expand the Main 
Menu team.
 The Main Menu team is the team behind each and every Main Menu 
show that
 you
 here on ACB Radio on a weekly basis.  The team is responsible 
for
 conducting
 interviews, recording segments, editing outside content, 
advising the host
 and producer about future shows, contacting companies about 
their latest
 innovations, and so much more.  A member of the Main Menu team 
has a wide
 variety of opportunities to influence one of the most popular 
assistive
 technology shows on the internet today.

 Do you feel that you are skilled in audio production, technology
 instruction, and have good ideas for the show?  Would you be 
willing to
 work
 with others and create an even better show?  If so, you are 
eligible to
 apply to join the Main Menu team.  We have created an extensive
application
 to judge people's areas of expertise.  If you are interested in 
filling
out
 this application to join the team, please email us at:
 mainmenu at acbradio.org
 and we will send you an application.  The application will 
arrive in
 Microsoft Office Word 2003 .doc format.  If you are unable to 
read this
 format and must have it in another format, please let us know in 
your
 initial email requesting this form.  When the form is entirely 
filled out,
 please save it and email it back to us at the above email 
address as an
 attachment.

 Please note: Requests for the application may not be received if 
sent
 directly to a Main Menu staff member or via the mailing list.  
To
 successfully receive and submit an application, you must email:
 mainmenu at acbradio.org

 ACB Radio and the Main Menu team reserve the right to not accept 
an
 applicant to the team.  We will accept whom we think will help 
us fulfill
 our mission to other blind and visually impaired people the 
most.
 We have a
 very large listener base and we want to keep a small team, so 
not everyone
 will be accepted.

 If you feel that you know someone else or another list of people 
who would
 like to apply for this position, please feel free to forward 
this message
 to
 them and to spread the word of Main Menu as you see appropriate.

 On behalf of the entire Main Menu team, we thank you for your 
continued
 interest and support in our program.  We look forward to working 
with you.

 Sincerely,

 Chase Crispin
 Executive Producer, ACB Radio Main Menu
