Hi Mike:

I have copied the list serve for the Deaf-Blind Division of the National Federation of the Blind.  Our organization is broadening its horizons and partnering with other DB organizations such as Perkins and HK, and we are developing affiliates in severall states.  Please consider adding the NFB-DB email address to your distribution list for events such as this one.

It's great to see the wonderful innovation going on.  Thanks so much!

The person for the web site is Paddi Davies and the person for the NFADB Facebook Page is Diane Foster.  We also have 4 Affiliates that can help get this info out too.  Please contact Edgenie Bellah about the Affiliates Network.

You could send me the links and I can get the info to the right people to get stuff posted.  I also have 11 State Parent Liaisons who can help push out this information in their states.
