Cathy;
Let us know what kind of mike and head set you get.  I have a HP lap top, if that matters.

Hi all,

Perhaps you have already seen this announcement, but if not it's worth the read.
I am interested to see how this project goes, for we may be able to use something like this for Krafters Korner.

I will purchase a microphone and sign up and see how it goes.

Greetings Fellow federationists,

As you may recall from my announcement during our National convention in Orlando, the NFB of New York, with the help of over a dozen other affiliates has started a pilot project to facilitate communications and information exchange among blind persons around the United States and the world. This project consists of an online chat community where both NFB members and non-members can participate in events, presentations and activities in real time. All that is required is a computer, an internet connection and a headset. We are often aware of the potential isolation faced by blind individuals, either due to geographical location or circumstance. NFB Live hopes to address this situation by providing a safe environment where blind persons can interact with others. We hope NFB Live can offer opportunities for socialization, education, information exchange and growth. This is also a way that we can get our message out to the widest audience at a minimal cost.

The potential uses for this venue is quite fantastic. Our membership can interact with a variety of different individuals and organizations. We can use the NFB Live chat rooms to host educational events, organize discussions on a variety of topics of interest to our members, participate in seminars and games and even just socialize with other people. It would be easy for us to host committee and board meetings in these rooms as well.

Our site and chat rooms are easy to access with a minimum amount of effort.
We have specialized technical support staff that are willing to assist anyone interested in our events. We can assist anyone requiring help in accessing our site and chat rooms.

Anyone can register with NFB Live by filling out the registration form at:

I would ask that you please advertise NFB Live in your news letters and publications to inform our members of this new opportunity for socialization, interaction and learning.

Cordially,

Carl Jacobsen
