<DIV>Hi Scott,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The secretary Janice, has a list of paid members. And if it was board
meeting they would not send the message out to members. Some members are
not on this list because they choose not to be. But even if you have not
paid a $5.00 membership fee you could still ask if you could be on the
call. When and if you go to the convention and attend the seminar you pay
$5.00 for the seminar. I don';t think that you have to pay once for
membership and once for the seminar. I believe they charged $5.00 for the
SSP workshop. If I am wrong will someone please correct me. Anyone
who wishes to listen in on the call can. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also they have a web site but I am not sure if anyone is putting any new
information on it. I just haven't taken time to go look at it.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you have any questions I will be glad to email our presidents
email. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV>Cheri Fields</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

there is some confussion concerning this last email that Rox

on conference calls to ask about interpreters."<BR>><BR>> I
was merely trying to let him know there are other ways to find
out.<BR>><BR>> If you wish to let him know that is certainly a kind and

send the info to the list for anyone<BR>><BR>> else who might

and I'm sorry this has got you up set.<BR>><BR>> Thank you for

Cheri,<BR>><BR>><BR>> Rox was the one asking about interpretors and
SSP's. I was relaying my<BR>> experiences with interpretors and SSP's
within the NFB.<BR>> I will be on the call you mentioned. But I am planning
on being there<BR>> anyways.<BR>> I myself have already registered for
the national convention, and sent off<BR>><BR>> my request to Mr.
Lewis for interpretors. My request has been put in<BR>> plenty of time. I
am aware that if my request was not put in asap then I<BR>> would<BR>>
not have an interpretor. When I made my request I did not make a request
for<BR>><BR>> SSP, only interpretors. So I will send another
email.<BR>> Hope that clears up things.<BR>> Thanks!<BR>><BR>>

are on the conference call for the db national the president and
or<BR>><BR>> secretary will announce the information needed for
requesting<BR>> interpreters. It is usually that you must request
interpreters at the time<BR>> you pay<BR>> your registration fee
to the NFB national. We were told at the c call
last<BR>><BR>> year that the NFB was not providing SSP's, but some
people who had<BR>> interpreters were assigned to them for the entire time
they were in<BR>> Orlando. If you<BR>> can go to the seminar
conference call that you wish to attend you will know<BR>><BR>>
when their seminar is going to be held. The national office will
be able<BR>> to tell you if you call them and say I wish to attend
X. Your state<BR>> affiliate should have scheduling also.
But there is a deadline for<BR>> requesting<BR>> interpreters. Get
your registration in early. If you have not
registered<BR>><BR>> prior to coming the NFB is NOT required
to pay for interpreters who have<BR>> not<BR>> been assigned to
someone in advance.<BR>><BR>> Good luck and enjoy.

my experience thus far, which I admit is limited. at the<BR>> washington
seminar, I requested interpretors, for both the great gathering<BR>> and
my<BR>> meetings with the representatives. But because my state didj't
have some of<BR>><BR>> the appointments until the last minute,
getting interpretors didn't happen<BR>><BR>> for the congressional
meetings. Now the NFB did provide me with<BR>> interpretors<BR>>
for the great gathering and the reception on tuesday. Both of
the<BR>> interpretors I used, were awesome. And the nfb took care of
that for me.<BR>> I have already put my request in for interpretors for the
national<BR>> convention. Unfortunately because the agenda is not out yet,
I can't say<BR>> which<BR>> meetings I will be attending and which I
will not. I too am interested in<BR>> attending the NAGDU, deafblind
and human service meetings.<BR>> I understand its very hard to make
arrangments, you need to know when the<BR>> meetings are, in order to
make interpretor requests, and then of course<BR>> register for the
convention.<BR>> That is my experience with interpretors, when I requested
SSP's for the<BR>> Washington seminar, they would not help me with
those costs.<BR>> We should put in requests for SSP's. All of us, so
that everyone knows<BR>> that there is a need, not just for one
person, but all of the deafblind who<BR>><BR>> need to use an
SSP.<BR>> Just my two cents,<BR>><BR>> Marsha drenth<BR>> email:
