That's great to hear Scott. The national DB needs people like you who are
successful at what you do. You are an excellent roll model for others who
are challenged with vision and hearing.
Scott, your idea of a news letter is a good one to bring up at our national
DB meeting. Our secretary Janice is a graduate student and has been
recovering from mrsa. She is trying to get our info on other DB lists.
I'm not a board member, but I do know we are working on solving the problem
of the group being on FB.
Thanks again for your interest in promoting the NFB DB division.
Have a safe and prosperous trip to N.Y.
Best Regards,
Cheri

Good afternoon Cheri.
Some things with Facebook do cost money, but there are ways of promoting
the group without necessarly paying for them. Most of the social networking
stuff is free, it's just a matter of remaining visible. For example, if the
national NFBDB had a small news letter that came out eaA month with news
about the DB population in general, and/or with the NFB itself, it would
remind people of its existance and also show the hard work that goes into
making the division continue to thrive. You are right, we all have limited
amounTs of time to contribute to the work that needs to be done, I include
myself in that category. After convention today, I fly off to New York for
meetings all next week and am also running a technology seminar in NY later in
the month to train professionals on some note taking devices and how to
teach consumers who are getting services through ICanConnect.

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
