[Ct-nfb] You're invited to National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut 2016 State Convention

[Jim McCollum]

Hello. 
First, the new system has both a touch screen, like a tablet, and a keypad, like a telephone. You can use whichever works for you. 
Second, we are planning to have a machine at the convention, so folks can look at it. I'll post more info soon. 
Take care.
