  Hi all,

  As you know, our New Perspectives Expo, graciously sponsored by the 
Disability Support Services office at UNC, is fast approaching. We would 
like to get a press release out to The Greeley Tribune and other local 
papers as soon as possible. We can also use the narrative part of the 
release to supplement with more of a description of the event to places 
where we have already taken or sent flyers.

  We're thinking of getting the release out to the press by July 22nd at the 
earliest, so that we can hopefully get some coverage at the event and draw a 
broader audience.  It would be awesome if you all could help compile a list 
of local papers to which we might send the release. It would also be good if 
we could have one or two people take responsibility for determining the 
appropriate address, (whether it be email or otherwise), at each paper, 
where we should send the release as well as sending out releases. The 
completed release is pasted below. Thank you.

  Sincerely,

  Marty Rahn,
  Secretary, Greeley Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind

  Greeley Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind and University of 
Northern Colorado Disability Support Services Sponsor New Perspectives Expo

  Greeley, Colorado: The Greeley Chapter of the National Federation of the 
Blind of Colorado (NFBCO) and the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) 
Disability Support Services Department have partnered to host the 2013 New 
Perspectives Expo on July 31st, 2013 at the University Center, 2045 10th 
Avenue, Greeley, CO 80639, Colombine A and B, from 9:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. 
The New Perspectives expo will highlight technology, techniques, and 
resources for individuals who are blind or low vision in Greeley. 
Individuals who are blind/low vision, their friends, family members, 
professionals working with people who are blind/low vision and students 
studying blindness related fields will have the opportunity to learn ways 
that blind people can use technology, complete daily tasks around the home, 
travel independently, and more.

  Cody Bair, president of the Greeley Chapter of NFBCO said:  “Many people 
in the community have approached our organization with questions pertaining 
to blindness and how a person with vision loss might accomplish certain 
tasks.  Providing the New Perspectives Expo gives us the opportunity to 
answer these questions in a hands on and user friendly way.”  “Many people 
think loosing sight is scary,” says Greeley chapter of NFBCO secretary and 
Teacher of the Visually Impaired Marty Rahn, “we want to show them that 
blindness is not a big deal.  Once you have the tools and techniques in 
place, you can live just like anyone else.  The Disability Support Services 
department at UNC generously donated the cost of hosting the event at the 
UNC Greeley campus allowing a central location for individuals in the 
community to gather and learn about blindness and vision loss.

  Join the Greeley Chapter of NFBCO and the Disability Support Services 
Department of UNC on Wednesday, July 31 at The University Center to learn 
about the technology, techniques, and resources that people who are blind 
and low vision use to live normal and independent lives.
