Subject: [nagdu] Just interview today by Verizon News1 here on Long Island


Hello all:
What an exciting few weeks I have been having, and mind you I mention my NFB
Family and the Travel and Tourism Division.
They came and saw the zoomtext program I use, and I explain how I use it, I
showed all my certifications not only from my suppliers and tourism boards,
but also from the places that we sponsor, like down in GA. Tina Rockwell
from Advanced Diabetic Solutions, is not only a business friend for the
Diabetic Division, and my diabetic supplier, but I am also there personal
travel agent for her family vacations.
I mentioned NAGDU, and Diabetic Action Network. They interviewed my
wonderful husband as well, and did video with me and Maxx.  The segment will
be about 5 minutes.  Even if you don't have Verizon or live on long island
to see it, I will send a link to it, also I will get a dvd of it and
hopefully, or webmaster Peter Donahue will put it up on the website.
Tina's boys are in the Dacula Athletic League and do the little league
football, and we have been sponsors for there team for 2 years, and we will
be doing it again this year.  Each year we get a plaque and a banner put up
in the ball park.  It is nice.
And other events here on Long Island
But, I am not getting a big head at all on this.  NOT!
The lady asked me what is the best part of owning this business and where do
I see myself in 5 years.
I said, I of course want more customers. I want everyone, I will share
because I want other people like myself, Anahit LaBarre, Maurice
Shackelford, April Scheppe or anyone that wants to go into this business to
be able to do this.
We also mentioned, we love to the point, that we cry when someone blind,
wheelchair, deaf, etc. that went on a trip for the first time and enjoyed
it.
But I had my NFB hat on the whole time as well. Educating that just because
someone is blind, doesn't mean we can't do anything. I said we are college
graduates, and have PhD's we just need the public to realize and to look
beyond the cane, glasses and guide dog, and listen to what the person is
saying and there credentials.
So 5 years from now, I just want to say I am still doing what I am doing and
more, I mentioned Matt Slosky from Social Flights, and speaking with Mark
Jones of Disney and working closely with Norwegian Cruise Lines.
Just sharing with my NFB family.
Leading the Way in Independent Travel!
