Hi Trish,<br>
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. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Cheri,<br>
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.<br>

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.</span><span
