Hi Ed,
I'm not sure if you remember me but I came out to Laconia a few years ago to 
give a presentation about 2-1-1 at your meeting at the church.
I wanted to check in with you about a caller that I spoke with at 2-1-1 this 
morning to see if you might have any ideas for resources that might help 
him.
The caller is a 66 year old Manchester resident with limited/low vision who 
has been receiving many bill from a collection agency that Elliot Hospital 
uses. He has asked for an itemized billing statement from Elliot Hospital's 
billing department and has that but he really is asking for help from 
someone who has sight and can review the charges to make sure they are 
legitimate.
Do you know of any volunteer resources that might be able to provide this 
service to him?
He mentioned that he has tried working with ServiceLink over the years but 
hasn't been able to find anyone to help him with things like this.
Thanks Ed, and hope you are well,
Heather

  LAKES REGION NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND of

  NH NEWSLETTER for November, 2012

      We invite all persons interested in matters concerning blindness and 
low vision to our meetings. We normally meet at 10:30 AM on the 3rd 
(occassionally fourth) Saturday of the month at the Good Shepherd Lutheran 
Church 2238 Parade Road (Rt. 106), a little north of Elm St., Laconia. Our 
next meeting will be the third Saturday of November, the 17th.



  At our October meeting we heard from a representative from the NH 
Association of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, who demonstrated various kinds 
of telecommunications devices. We ended with our usual pot luck luncheon.



  This month Tony Bonanno will talk about his experiences learning how to 
travel better with a long white cane at Leader Dog in Michigan. We will plan 
our Christmas concert and party for December 5, and our annual holiday 
giving to local food pantries. If time permits, we might discuss the latest 
installment of “Ask Miss Whozit” in the current BRAILLE MONITOR. Of course, 
we will end with our usual pot luck luncheon. As always, guests and 
first-time attendees are not expected to bring any food or drink.



  We continue to need suggestions for possible future speakers or discussion 
topics.

  Do you know another blind or low vision person? Invite them to join us. We
