Conference Call for Seniors


Fifth Conference Call for 2015

Sponsored by the National
Federation of the Blind Senior
Division

Please join Ms. Shelley Kopel
for the fifth nationwide
conference call Wednesday,
June 10, 2015 at our usual
afternoon time .


Topic:  Out on the Town-dining
out, theater, museums and much

more.  Share your ideas, tips
and concerns about stepping
out on the 
town.  We seniors aren't
sitting home; we're out and
about in our 
communities, actively engaged
in organizations and you can
be too.

Shellley Kopel has a master's
degree as a teacher of the
blind, TVI, 
and has taught in Nebraska for
several years, at the
Commission for 
the Blind and more recently at
the Colorado center for the 
Blind.  She currently resides
in South Carolina and is the
fabulous 
secretary for the  National
Federation of the Blind Senior

Division.  She reports:
"This afforded me the
opportunity, in those early
days especially, to 
teach blind individuals
skills, and at the same time,
really feel 
confident within myself to
accomplish what I was telling
others they 
could do. I have met so many
wonderful people through the
National 
Federation of the Blind who
have helped to shaped my
opportunities 
and ultimate belief in
myself."  Shelley willingly
passes her 
knowledge and skill on to
others.  Please join her as
she moderates 
this all-important conference
call.

All calls will be held at the
times listed below

4:00Eastern standard time,
3:00 Central time,
2:00  Mountain time,
1:00  Pacific time.

The conference call numbers
are as follows for all calls:

Dial 712-432-1500

Access code:
759633pound.

All calls will be recorded and
put on the NFB Senior webpage
and 
directions for calling back to
listen to the call if missed
will be 
given a few hours after the
calls have taken place.

In order to obtain the best
possible sound for these
calls, it is 
recommended that each caller,
after dialing in, press star 6
which 
puts you in a "mute" mode.
You will be able to hear
everything 
during the call but background
noise from your location will
not 
disturb others listening in on
the conversation.  When you
wish to 
speak and enter the
discussion, press star 6 once
again and you will 
be released from the "mute"
mode and able to participate.

It is also highly recommended
that each person wishing to
speak state 
his or her name and wait for
the moderator to recognize you
before 
speaking.  We can have too
many people trying to seek the
floor at 
one time and chaos can occur.
The moderator will do the very
best to 
recognize as many callers as
possible however, Shelley will
determine 
the order in which speakers
poceed.

Again, when finished with your
comments, press star 6 once
again to 
go back into "mute" mode to
facilitate better, uncluttered

communication for everyone.

We look forward to a
stimulating, thought-provoking
discussion with 
many callers contributing
their experiences and
knowledge to seniors 
who are anticipating stepping
out once again into the
community 
around them.  Please enjoy
this upcoming conference call
and share 
the information you learn with
fellow colleagues, neighbors
and friends.
