We like many other chapters have begun having our meeting on Zoom, and for the most part, it is working out well. We have a couple of members who are hearing impaired, and they have requested accessibility for our meetings. I want to provide them with what they need, as I am of the strong belief that accessibility is of the Ut most importance. I have reached out to my state President and to the national Office, and have received information about captioning which basically says that the cost would be around $100 per hour. It was suggested by the National Office that we look for “a more home grown” approach for chapter meetings. Does anyone have suggestions as to what these home grown approaches might be?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Again, I want all members to feel welcome to participate in our meetings, and I would not want to be denied an accommodation, and I feel it is my responsibility to provide one as well. Any help will be very much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Kaye Baker<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
