[Nfbf-l] Fw: Time to callyourFlorida HouseRepresentative!Another Service for the Blindmaybe going bythe Wayside.

David, Well said! I work with many seniors as the District Director for the 
Blinded Veteran's Association of East Central Florida and know that what you 
have just stated is so correct! Seniors, if demonstrations are done properly 
have absolutely no problem learning how to utilize Newsline.  they also have 
a 24 hour support line and a tutorial right on their phone keypad if they 
do. I have never had a problem with the Vet's that have watched my demo's in 
the past and everyone that I have  shown how to use Newsline at their 
meetings have a desire to sign up! Kirk
