[NFB-Seniors] NFB Seniors division - information about our 2020 Virtual Senior division Retreat

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Hi You All

 

Please do forgive me for my recent messages that I've sent out that have
been getting labeled as SPAM! I'm really wanting you all to help with the
information gathering of what kinds of hobbies we are engaged in, and how we
manage them. All for sharing with . newbies' to blindness, for us, and all
others! 

 

So hey, I'm hoping this one will get through, clean from any labeling that
may stop some of you from reading the message and considering assisting in
our building this special collection. I'll present our material as part of
the class I will be hosting during the upcoming 2020 Virtual Senior Retreat.

 

Here are examples of what we mean as a hobby: Collecting things; gardening;
Crafts; Woodworking; fishing; Cooking/baking; Sowing, knitting, etc.;
Reading/writing; Exercising; Birding; Restoring old cars. You tell us!

 

Here is what we need to have said, described: Title of the hobby; Your name;
Contact information: Extent of your blindness; what alternative methods and
special equipment do you use; did you do this before you lost vision, or is
this a new hobby. 

And send it to my personal email- robertleslienewman at gmail.com
<mailto:robertleslienewman at gmail.com> 

 

Another way: You Make a recording and get it to me. Or, we together get on
the phone and I record your description. We'd have to make an appointment,
to make sure we hook up at a mutually agreed upon convenient time.
