Time of Calls:

All calls will be held at the times listed below

4:00Eastern standard time,

3:00 Central time,

2:00  Mountain time,

1:00  Pacific time.

The conference call numbers are as follows for all calls:

Dial 712-432-1500

Access code:

759633pound.

All calls will be recorded and put on the NFB Senior webpage and directions
for calling back to listen to the call if missed will be given a few hours
after the calls have taken place. You will also be able to go directly to
the senior web page and download each session.

In order to obtain the best possible sound for these calls, it is
recommended that each caller, after dialing in, press star 6 which puts you
in a "mute" mode.  You will be able to hear everything during the call but
background noise from your location will not disturb others listening in on
the conversation.  When you wish to speak and enter the discussion, press
star 6 once again and you will be released from the "mute" mode and able to
participate.

It is also highly recommended that each person wishing to speak state his or
her name and wait for the moderator to recognize you before speaking.  We
can have too many people trying to seek the floor at one time and chaos can
occur.  The moderators will do their very best to recognize as many callers
as possible however, they will determine the order in which speakers poceed.

Again, when finished with your comments, press star 6 once again to go back
into "mute" mode to facilitate better, uncluttered communication for
everyone.

We are very pleased that you are interested in joining our conference call
sessions and we welcome your input, participation and we hope that you will
then share what you learn with others and encourage friends and colleagues
to join you in participating in these calls whether speaking or simply
listening. By the way, you do not have to be a senior to participate and
join in with us. Each call will be about one hour in length. Come join us
and learn to Live The Life You Want.

Ruth Sager

President,

NFB Senior Division
