[il-talk] An IL-Talk question

[Connie Davis]

Jenny, I am the editor and have the original copy I can forward to you. It
is posted to IL-talk every time it is published. It is also available on our
website http://www.nfbofillinois.org. It is also on Newsline. We try to do
four issues a year and just did one. I'll send it to you privately. 

Connie

Hi all,

I haven't received the braille examiner yet.  Is it an email based magazine?
If so, could you sign me up.  If you can get it on newsline however, please
let me know as I can read it there too.

I don't prefer braille as I taught myself in 1999 and it's slow going no
matter how hard I practice.  

If it an email magazine, please sign me up.

Jenny

Il-Talk, which is NFB of IL's listserve. It is meant for any blind, visually
impaired, or, I suppose, sighted people who want to talk about blindness
issues in a group or open forum.

il-talk and that message will be delivered to everyone who subscribes to
il-talk.

out group of blind people to communicate about important issues for the
blind.

digest) The benefit of having everyone get these messages is everyone is in
the loop when there is a topic that could impact our lives, like
anticipating how we will conduct our lives or business with a new
technology, travel freely with a new change in infrastructure, or planning
our futures, knowing what services or protection of our rights we can expect
etc. And if a person has a question they can't find a solution for, this is
maybe the largest group of blindness experts (illinoi's blind citizenry)
available, including you, to help with a solution. And by the way,  you said
you are 10/60 in one eye and have NLP in the other, so you have a unique
experience with blindness that even a teacher of the visually impaired or a
public servant working in Blind Services may not fully understand. I think
your input and your voice on how things should be done matters too, and this
group benefits from your being a part of it.

out of our list-serve, and get to know the other people who use it.
