[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: FW: [Nfbnet-members-list] Christmas Shopping Event.

[Cathy]

Hello all,

This message is from a site called NFBLive and is run by the new york
affiliate I do believe. 

This sounds to me like an interesting thing to listen to. You need the join
the site wich is free, then you eed a microphone to participate, but can
simply come and listen on your computer. You do need to download and install
some software which is a chat client, to enable you to enter the room, but
the instructions are there and it is simple. Last time they had a
presentation like this they had at least 70 folks listening in.

I listened to a presentation by the guy who escaped the twin towers with his
guide dog.

 

I have sugested to Joyce that we might wish to chat up our division some
time and found out that it is free to do so. Hoepfully, we will be able to
do this sometime next year. After all, its not like we wouldn't have tons to
say about our division.

 

Anyhow, back to the issue at hand.

Hello everyone,

 

If you have not started your Christmas shopping yet, or if you have, and are
just looking for a few stocking stuffers, join us on November 15, at 2:00 PM
Eastern in the Events Center on NFB Live, for our Giftables Galore
presentation as we will feature four great venders who will surely provide
you with some exciting gift ideas.

 

At 2:00 PM, Eastern, we will start the day off with Denise Russell from
Speak To Me. The Speak To Me Catalog specializes in products that talk,
sing, play music, or let you record your own special message. Find a unique
practical talking item or a fun and wacky gift idea that adds that personal
touch. They have something for everyone, even those who are hard to shop
for. Give the gift that says something.

 

At 2:30 P.M. Eastern, Kara Euvino from Braille Tees will present her
selection of products. Braille Tees are high quality tees which reveal their
message in actual raised Braille - uncontracted (grade 1), so that beginning
Braille and non-Braille readers can follow letter by letter. (Custom shirts
can be done in either contracted or uncontracted Braille.) They are loads of
fun, and EXCEPTIONAL conversation starters. Braille Tees are a testament to
the great sense of humor and confidence of the wearer. They make a statement
all by themselves, and provide a playful way of connecting with and engaging
the people around us. Men, women, teens and children of all ages love them,
and everybody loves the people who wear them!

 

Tony Mead from Blind Treasures will join us at 3:00 P.M. Eastern. Being
blind himself, Tony understands the difficulties of getting out to shop for
the things we need or want. That is why Blind treasures cater mainly to the
blind and their families but anyone is welcome to join. Tony publishes a
daily mailing called the Treasure Scroll which lists the items that are for
sail during that shipping period. Items change daily based on what suppliers
have available at the time. All items are purchased in small quantities so
you have to act quickly to insure you obtain the items you want. Tony will
discuss the variety of products he offers and answer any questions you may
have.

 

Finally, at 3:30 P.M. Eastern, Sherlock Washington from SWUnlimited will
inform us about the line of products his company provides. SWUnlimited has a
vast line of Adaptive Products, aids for Independent Living, and merchandise
designed simply to enhance your lifestyle by making your life and daily
tasks easier.

We hope that you will come and join us and launch your Christmas season by
getting some of your shopping done early with us. 

 

See you there.<
