Wish I would have known about this sooner. The deadline for the academic
scholarship is today so no time to get letters of recommendation submitted.

Monique,
Could you clarify if the deadline is 8/1/15 or 9/15/15? Your email states
that the deadline is 9/15, but the link you shared says 8/1.
Thanks in advance.

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

Seminar!

Howdy ladies and gentlemen. As some of you may have heard, President
Riccobono pledged up to $3,750 to help send students to Washington Seminar.
Every dollar we raise and spend on this effort, the national office will
match up to $3,750. So if you want to go to Washington Seminar, one great
way is to join the fundraising committee and help us raise some cash!
Now you may be thinking that you aren't a grant writer and that you are
uncomfortable asking folks for money or stuff. That's totally okay, we still
need your help. Michael Ausbin, Kate Webster, Sean Whalen, and I are doing
most of the heavy lifting with regard to grant writing and calling
businesses to ask for donations. If anyone has experience with that we are
more than happy to let you share in the glory of being an all star
fundraiser. However, we also need folks to share the NABS gofundme page on
their Facebook. We need folks to think of awesome auction items. We need
folks to do some googling and locate grant and donation opportunities for
the aforementioned heavy hitters. We need folks to recruit volunteers for
our penny wars, NABS cafe, and Monte Carlo night fundraisers.
So what do you say? Will you help us send our federation family to
Washington Seminar so we can demand accessibility in the classroom?
Contact Derek Manners at 9032716494 or derekmanners at gmail.com or Michael
Ausbun at 775-432-8789 or his email address which is cc'ed.
Thank you for your help and we are going to kill it this year!
Derek Manners and Michael Ausbun

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
NABS List Guidelines
1. Be respectful.
A. This Listserv is a great forum in which we can all express our
opinions. Sometimes we will disagree. However, when responding to a
post, always be respectful. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and
personal attacks and degrading comments will not be tolerated.
B. All posts must be appropriate for a wide audience, including
readers younger than 18 years old. Profanity and sexual content will
not be allowed.
C. Remember that all list messages appear on a public archive. Please
respect other people?s privacy by not posting details about their
lives or experiences. Even if you post about somebody without using
their name, their identity can be discovered. Also remember that if
you post your phone number on list, others could access it via a
Google search.
2. Reducing List Clutter
A. Please stay on topic. This list is about blindness and issues
related to being a blind student or job-seeker. Posts about religion
or politics, advertisements, queries asking to add list members on
social media, or any other posts unrelated to blindness are not
allowed, as they create too much list clutter unrelated to the list
purpose. The exception is that advertisements for blindness programs
and announcements about blindness-related research projects are
permitted. The moderators and NABS board reserve the right to close
down any discussion that is off-topic.
B. Please respect readers? time by consolidating your ideas into one
or two messages per day instead of posting many short replies to a
topic. Rule of thumb is to post in a way to further the conversation,
instead of just saying ?I agree?.
C. When you would like to write someone off list or offer to connect
with someone by Skype or social media, do so privately. You do not
have to write one liners to every person you?d like to email off list.
If you develop a conversation with that person, that?s great, if they
feel they do not want to respond that is their right too.
D. If an off-topic message appears on the list, please do not respond
to it. Instead, please either delete it or forward it to a list
moderator. Single off-topic messages create much less clutter than
long threads debating whether or not the initial post is appropriate
for the list.
If you send a message the moderators feel is off-topic, you will
receive an off-list request not to send any more messages of this
kind. If you disagree with the moderator?s ruling, feel free to reply
and make your case, and we will be more than happy to listen. But the
list committee has final authority regarding what is and is not
appropriate for the list. Repeated violations of the guidelines could
result in disciplinary action from the list owner, including list
removal.
