[Ncabs] **Reminder!**National Association Of Blind Students membership Committee presents: A conference call and some people, followed by a conference call and some more people!!

[Jewel S.]

I have a quick question about conference calls. I have a home phone,
but it costs five cents a minute for long-distance, so I don't have
the option of calling in for this or other conference calls. However,
I -really- want to be in on this training center conference call. My
question is, is there anyone with three-way or conference on their
phone that could patch me thorough? I did this with the Crafters'
Corner group for a class, and it worked great, as the person who did
had conference calling on her phone.

Anyone able to do this and going to be available for this conference
call? I really, really want to be in on this call.
