Sheri. You may like to send this message again with the word Readers' Digest 
in the subject line. NFB newsline messages have become repetitive to some 
people so it is possible some of us just assume same old message and not 
read  it. Readers' Digest is one of the more popular publication that 
combines serious stuff with light material. Laughter is the Best Medicine 
and Campus comedy features and many other features for those seeking some 
comic relief and entertainment. Then there is "Word Power" and some serious 
political coverage are with academic bent. Readers' Digest should be able to 
generate more interest in Newsline in Florida as well.
