[Nebraska-Senior-Blind] Activity Directors Association- news - FW: NFB Seniors Division - Question and News

Hi You All

Yesterday I wrote Cameo Rogers a note; see my email below her response. We
do owe them the benefit of our experience and knowledge of resources for
blind seniors. I am excited what they and we can make happen.

(I do have a box of materials that I'm putting together for their meeting in
October. This will very nicely fit into our annual October outreach
campaign.)

Hi Robert,

I am glad to hear from you.  I am hopeful I can try to jump in on another
call sometime, if only to listen and learn. :) 

Our meeting coming up in October - yes I would be happy to pass out as many
packets as you would like to provide.  We have a maximum of 80 spots for
registrations.  We usually get pretty close to that for actual attendance.

I am excited about the possibility of the video training modules.  That
would be incredible and such a great resource for our professionals!

No worries on the amount of time.  We are just SO thankful for the support
and resources.  It is such an important need for our profession!

Thank you so much!

Hi Cameo

YUP, we truly are still here; feeling we super appreciated your coming on
one of our calls, and knowing that we still have a few things to follow
through on, with/for you.

#1 I, Robert did finally get more of our NFB literature, and have 20 more
packets made up for those of your association who didn't get one. 

Your meeting coming up in October, the one that we'd love to have gotten the
opportunity to present at. would you like to pass out packets there, too? If
so how many? 

#2 We do wish to provide you, and your fellow professionals, with a video,
or videos of some of the basic low vision/non-visual techniques that could
aid staff and customers on how to handle various situations; at the dining
table, aiding in travel, (best practice in guiding), etc. 

One of our hang-ups here, is that members live in towns scattered across the
state. And so we haven't worked out the place, who should be the camera
person, and when to do this? We thought maybe at Convention in October. but
not knowing the schedule, and knowing how many of us get pulled in different
directions, that convention may not be the place and time! 

And so, talk is zeroing in on meeting in Lincoln would probably be the best
place. (Chris could come up from Pickerel, I come from Omaha, and we meet at
the Loos's - Barbara and Brads. And we think we can get a camera person
there who knows us, and what needs to be made clear in a video. (Yes, I am
embarrassed on the length of time all this is taking. And I am getting into
TOO MUCH detail.)

Respectfully yours,

Robert Leslie Newman
