***Announcement Start***


Greetings!

We wish to announce the launch of NFB Live, a  voice chat site hosted by the National Federation of the Blind of New York.  Our grand opening will be on Saturday August 30.  The day's activities as of now include games, door prizes, and a series of special guests and venders.  The day will start at 2:00 PM Eastern with Carl Jacobsen, from the NFB of New York introducing two distinguished guest speakers, Mister Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind, and Doctor Marc Maurer, immediate past president.  Throughout the day, we will have a series of presentations by several speakers and venders.  At present, we are proud to have Art Schreiber who will discuss his experiences as one of two American reporters who travelled with the Beatles during their 1964 US/Canadian tour, and James Gashel who will discuss the KNFB Reader for iPhones, . We are happy to also have Dan Parker, blind motorcycle driver, who will tell us about his adventures driving in the Bonneville Salt Flats.

J.J. Meddaugh from the A T Guys will offer a presentation on his organization's products, and James Boehm from Kustomcane, will inform us about his  unique line of canes and accessories. We also will talk with Gail Smith about Braille greeting cards.  We'll end the night with a few games.
