[nfb-db] About This Group List

Fri Mar 21 01:49:35 UTC 2014

Hey Shadow,

This is the reason for our DB Division meeting once a  month.  Janice is 
our secretary.  We having "Operation  Outreach".  This is to get our members 
to reach out to the state affiliate  presidents and try to get their state 
and other states to start a db committee  and a division.  This is how we can 
let each state know of what kinds of  things like the I Can Connect are 
available.  I hope that you will want to  get involved in our efforts.
Blessings,
Cheri

Hey  Janice,
I don't know much about the mainstream NFB. But I've heard  somewhere that 
they have not paid much attention to the needs of the DB  divisional 
members. But given to the growing and expanding DB community. They  should start 
paying heed to the advocacy of the DB community. Many DBs are  quite 
intelligent, and our intelligence is often underestimated by both the  greater blind 
population and the deaf population. I think the DB will come out  as a 
stronger group. Because of our combined disabilities and efforts to be  heard.

Hi  Trish,
That is why we have Operation Outreach. To try and open the eye  and ears 
of the people of the NFB and other interested people to let them  know that 
they have Deaf-Blind who want accommodations at Conventions as  well as the 
force of the Federation to help us change legislation concerning  the 
Deaf-Blind.

Janice, 
I’;I’ve  been with the NFB  since 1998 and I had no idea there was a DB  
division until you told me a few months ago.  I thought NFB was just  blind 
and I voiced my gripes to my chapter  many  times.

Hi Cheri,
The NFB-DB list  has been around for  years.  It serves the DB of the 
Federation and those with combined  hearing and vision loss.  The Division has a 
web-site as well.   It is nothing fancy.  I have not looked at it in a while 
so I would  need to find the web address and then I will post it for  
everyone.

Hello  Shadow,

My  understanding is that it started out to help those of us who had both  
hearing and vision loss to ask us how we voted and we all gave our  
responses as to what would help us to be able to vote in  elections.  When that was 
finished this board was to let others ask  questions and give responses.  I 
hope this helps you.  I was  somewhat complexed at first and then I just 
jumped in and answered  someones questions or said hello to new members.

Blessings,

Cheri  Fields
