  Colleagues:

  Today
  Walgreens announced that it is providing talking prescription labels at 
all of
  its 8,000+ retail pharmacies in the United States and through mail order. 
The
  talking prescription labels are free of charge to pharmacy customers
  who are blind or visually impaired.  The device also includes a
  timer.

  The
  Walgreens press release is here: 
http://lflegal.com/2014/06/walgreens-talking/

  This
  initiative is a result of ongoing Structured Negotiations with the
  American Council of the Blind, The Illinois Council of the Blind, and the
  California Council of the Blind. Linda Dardarian of Goldstein, Borgen,
  Dardarian and Ho and I represent the organizations.

  Please
  help us spread the work about this important health, safety, and
