Maybe I missed it somewhere in the email, but I don't read the dates of these calls, only the time of day.

 Subject: National Senior Division Hosts Nationwide
 Conference Calls March 
 through June 2017

 The National  Association of Senior Blind (NASB)
 otherwise known as the 
 National Senior Division of  the NFB is proud to host 4
 telephone conference 
 workshops with a host and moderator of each call.

 The information presented and discussed is focused on senior
 blindness 
 issues and will hopefully allow all seniors  to feel
 more confident and live 
 more independently.

 To access these conference workshops  dial
 712-432-1500, then use access 
 code 759633 pound.
 You will hear the code you entered repeated. Press 1 if it
 is correct. Press
 2 to re-enter it. If you press 1, you then announce yourself
 by stating your
 name and you will then be entered into the conference call.

 In order to obtain the best possible sound for these calls,
 it is
 recommended that each caller, after dialing in, press star 6
 which puts you
 in a “mute” mode. You will be able to hear everything
 during the call but
 background noise from your location will not disturb others
 listening in on
 the conversation. When you wish to speak and enter the
 discussion, press
 star 6 and you will be released from the “mute” mode and
 able to
 participate. It is also highly recommended that each person
 wishing to speak
 state his or her name and wait for the moderator to
 recognize you before
 speaking. We can have too many people trying to seek the
 floor at one time
 The moderators will do their very best to recognize as
 many callers as possible however, they will determine the
 order in which
 speakers proceed. When finished with your comments, press
 star 6 again to go
 back into “mute” mode to facilitate better, uncluttered
 communication for
 everyone. Star 6 also works when you have your phone on
 speaker.

 The times for the calls are
 4:00 Eastern
 3:00 Central
 2:00 Mountain
 1:00 Pacific

 Because our conference calls contain information that’s
 helpful and
 interesting to blind seniors, we archive all of them within
 hours of their
 completion. You can listen to our most recent archives by
 calling
 712-432-1202, and entering the access code 759633 pound
 followed by the call
 reference code. There are 11 of our most recent calls for
 you to choose
 from. You can also listen to them through your computer or
 mobile device by
 visiting http://seniors.nfb.org/ConferenceRecordingsPage.html.
 We hope you
 enjoy and learn from them.
