[cmkries at comcast.net]

Hello members and friends of the NFB Northern Delaware Chapter,

 

I hope this email finds you well and warm.  It seems as though we are
actually having a Winter this year, and I am ready for the warmup!  Well, we
always have a welcoming and warm environment at the Northern Delaware
Chapter meeting where all are invited to join in on the discussions,
planning, and fun.  Our meeting will be held on Monday, February 24, 2025,
at 6:30 pm via Zoom.  Our minutes will be read at 6 pm.  The agenda and Zoom
link are below.  I have not received the minutes from Sylvia yet, but I have
attached the AI Summary from Zoom.  With minimal corrections it provides a
decent summary of what we talked about.  Check it out. it is really
interesting and a little scary what this technology can do!  Speaking of AI,
our Tech Talk at the end of our meeting will introduce/discuss several AI
Apps that are accessible to screen readers and voice over.  Please join us
for what I am sure will be an interesting meeting.

 

Sincerely. Carol King-Ries

President, NFB Northern Delaware Chapter

Live the life you want with love, hope, and determination!

NFB pledge:

I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the National Federation of
the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind, to
support the policies and programs of the federation, and to abide by its
constitution. 

 

NFB one-minute message:

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want.
Blindness is not what holds you back.
