    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>

          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>
