[Nfb-lions] Possible Suggestion About Increasing Lion Magazine on NFB Newsline

[Steven Johnson]

Has anyone contacted Lions International to see if they can make this work
for everyone?  Remember, many Lions are older, and don't have the computer
skills we have, so making this accessible to all Lions is really essential
especially with this transition.  I can put a good word out to 2 of our club
members who are past International Directors to see if they know what the
best avenue to pursue this might be.

I can easily spread it on my facebook called:
Blind penpals
but I think they will need to work on making it more accessible to blind
people who use speech programs. I addressed this issue to them but don't see
much difference. It will make it much easier if they make it in one pdf file
per magazine that would be read at a click of a button or one audio file
that we could access by downloading, otherwise, it is too much scrolling and
on the pdf version, most of the pages are mixed up and repeated.
