 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.
