[Cash-and-caring] Welcom and Washington Seminar

[Ramona Walhof]

We are targeting whoever will bite.  We will find out.  One possibility is 
to say that all the answers are on the NFB Web Site and ask questions 
accordingly.  I don't know how much effort people would put into finding 
them.  My notion would be to make the questions pretty easy, but I know that 
might be hard to do for those who know little or nothing about blindness. 
Of course, those who enter would be recognized as a friend of the NFB or 
something like that.  Conchita says that is easy to do, but people like it. 
I want feedback on things like that. I think we have enough time to do this 
right if it does not take a lot of Web Site development time, and I am 
assured it doesn't.
