My name is Kathy Eble.  I want to introduce you to Home Readers, a service
>> for the blind and visually impaired, serving the blind community since
>> 1996. We are a not for profit 501 c3 organization.  The mission of Home
>> Readers is to further the independence of the blind and visually
>> impaired. Our services provide a way for blind and low vision individuals
>> to shop independently through a wide variety of mail order catalogs.  Our
>> catalogs are free to customers and they are read by pleasant sounding
>> readers who become the eyes for their listeners, by describing products,
>> colors and details to make products come alive. When you use our catalogs
>> you still get the extra description that often is missing from websites
>> and catalogs. This allows you to know what you are purchasing.  If you
>> are a web user our catalogs can compliment your visit to websites and our
>> special codes should work on the catalog company's websites.
>>
>> The clothing catalogs include Blair Men's and Women's, Lands' End, L.L.
