[nabs-l] NABS Notes July 2015

Sun Aug 2 18:43:16 UTC 2015

Hello Kathryn,

First, I would like to commend everyone who played a role in making the July
NABS Notes possible. I think the July NABS Notes are probably one of the
best updates I have seen in a long time. So if there is anyone who has not
read them yet, I encourage you to check them out.

I think the July NABS Notes are very informative and well written. I really
like reading through the highlight summary of national convention, the NABS
board Bios, and all the state student division updates. It seems to me like
a number of different people may have played a role in making the final
production and distribution of the July NABS Notes possible. So I would like
to thank everyone who helped put these notes together regardless of how
small your part may have been in creating the final draft of the July NABS
Notes.

Also, thank you for explaining more about how the NFB student email list
works. I do not recall seeing recent past issues of the NABS Notes or the
announcement for state student division updates posted to this email list,
so I was not sure if this was something that was being done. I am glad to
hear it is included in the NABS Notes distribution even though it may take a
bit more time going through this email list.

As for the NABS Notes being an attachment, I can understand how this would
be useful for those who wish to save the NABS Notes on their computer.
However, I personally have never felt the need to do this as I believe a
plain email works well for me. I have an older computer, so opening the
attachment takes a bit more time than simply reading through an email. I
understand different people like to do things differently, and this is why I
suggested a duel approach. However, how you choose to send out the NABS
Notes is your decision, and I will definitely continue to read the NABS
Notes regardless of how you choose to send them out.

But again, thank you for the awesome July NABS Notes. I hope the quality of
the NABS Notes continues to be this great throughout the rest of the year.
As someone who thoroughly enjoys reading the NABS Notes, I would be more
than willing to help make them possible.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Dear Elizabeth,
	Thank you for this message; I appreciate your insight. This edition
of NABS Notes was unusually long, since we had much to include. However,
that is definitely something we can consider in future issues. Personally, I
feel that an attachment is more useful for those who prefer saving the
documents onto their computers. The attachments will no longer be
problematic on the list.
In regard to where the notes are sent out, we have it going to NABS-l, the
membership database, and NFB Student list. The NFB Student list takes some
time, as it must receive moderator approval before posting live.
Again, thank you so much for your contributions to the list, and I look
forward to working with you in the coming year.

Talk soon,
Kathryn Webster

Hello Kathryn,

Thank you for posting the attachment for the NABS notes. However, if posting
attachments can sometimes be problematic, why not simply post the text of
the attachment in the body of the email? Or perhaps consider both an
attachment and body text for the times when the attachment does not come
through? I know some people prefer not to open attachments too, so this may
be something worth considering.

Also, are the NABS Notes being sent out to all the state division email
lists, or is it simply being sent out on the NABS email list? I know of a
number of people who do not subscribe to the NABS email list simply because
they do not wish to deal with a high traffic email list. I always think it
is best to reach out to as many members as well as supporters and potential
members, and I think either the membership database or master student email
list are good ways to keep in touch with those who do not subscribe to this
email list.

However, I greatly appreciate all the hard work that was put into creating
the NABS Notes, and I do not wish for my words here to be taken as any kind
of harsh criticism. I have always enjoyed the NABS Notes, and as I have
offered in the past, I would be willing to help make the NABS Notes
possible.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth
