<DIV><FONT size=3>This is the reason for our DB Division meeting once a
month. Janice is our secretary. We having "Operation
Outreach". This is to get our members to reach out to the state affiliate
presidents and try to get their state and other states to start a db committee
and a division. This is how we can let each state know of what kinds of
things like the I Can Connect are available. I hope that you will want to
get involved in our efforts.</FONT></DIV>

Janice,<BR>I don't know much about the mainstream NFB. But I've heard
somewhere that they have not paid much attention to the needs of the DB
divisional members. But given to the growing and expanding DB community. They
should start paying heed to the advocacy of the DB community. Many DBs are
quite intelligent, and our intelligence is often underestimated by both the
greater blind population and the deaf population. I think the DB will come out
as a stronger group. Because of our combined disabilities and efforts to be
heard. <BR><BR>--S.W. <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>Janice<O:P></O:P></P>

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
