[nfb-db] "Operation Outreach"

[Cherifields at aol.com]

Greetings Scott from Colorado and all,

You have a keen sense for organization and the national db can use a go  
getter like you.  Many suggestions that you have made are either in  procedure 
or in process.  For example, our nfb db website is on  facebook.  I was 
told that the way FB makes money is that when you place  something like this on 
there and to circulate it cost money.  A credit card  was given and one of 
our members got charged a fee when someone pressed boost to  circulate it.  
So I am not aware of what changes have been made to correct  it.  There are 
costs with everything.
 
I'm especiallyy happy though that a dialogue has been started within the  
nfb db list. This is one avenue we should make good use of by having our  
division post info about our division to attract interested persons.  If  more 
people got involved with the national db they could easily get a committee  
started in their state.
As you know the purpose is to inform others who have a need of what is  
available for the deaf=blind, such as the "i can connect".  And to help the  
states with getting other states to pass legislation for SSP's.
 
Many of our members are working,, in schools, like HKNC, or universities  
and this is why we need more participation.  I myself am caring for my  young 
grandchildren who live in our home.
 
If I recall we did have one resolution make it out of committee to the  
convention floor.  I could be wrong, but I think it was voted down.
 
I can't tell you everyone's states, but I am working on these affiliates  
myself.  I have to find or get the affiliate president to assign a contact  
person in Ma., Conn., S>C. and P.R.  
 
Best Regards all,
Cheri Fields
