Dear Patrick,

Thank you for sending this posting to me.  I have posted it to two of our listservs.  Our Jobs listserv contains over 700 blind jobseekers.  Our Rehabilitation listserv contains several hundred professionals who work with blind people. I am also sending it to our Illinois state president, Denise Avant, and asking her to post it on their state listserv.  Hopefully you’ll get some applications as a result.  If you have time, I would like to talk with you about the National Federation of the Blind and how we can help you find good people to hire.  I would also like to register you as one of our cooperating employers so that we can let you know when our career fairs and other activities occur.  If you have questions about how to make your application or other systems accessible to blind people, we can help with those too.  We are the largest organization of blind people in the country with over 50,000 members, many of whom are actively engaged in seeking employment.  If you’d like to talk, just call me at 612-872-0100, Ext. 202, or email me at ddavis at blindinc.org <mailto:ddavis at blindinc.org> .

Best wishes, 

Dick Davis, Chair
