Not being familiar with the Apple IPAD, does it have on board text to  
speech that will read the machine functions as well as a book?

Hello  all,
I am attaching the press release info for the White Cane Safety Day in  St 
Lucie County. Please feel free to join us on Oct 15; please call me if you  
do plan on attending so I can have an idea of how many chairs to  set!

We are also contacting the local media and the newspaper  should be 
publishing the article prior to the event and may even send  a  photographer! 

Hope to see some of you here in St Lucie County on  October 15th!!! 



The St Lucie Chapter of  National Federation of
the Blind (NFB) will be observing White Cane Safety  Day on Tuesday, 
October 15,
2013 beginning at 11am at WQCS Radio Station,  IRSC, 3209 Virginia Avenue, 
Fort
Pierce. The meeting will begin with Fort  Pierce Mayor Hudson reading the 
White
Cane Safety Day Proclamation and the  White Cane Law. A short orientation &
mobility instruction will be  presented by a certified Orientation &
Mobility Instructor from the  Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches 
on
how to use the cane.  Participants will then cross 35th Street and return 
to the
WQCS Radio  Station and be able to speak with members of the chapter.
On October
6,  1964, HR 753, a joint resolution of the Congress, was signed into  law
authorizing the President of the United States to proclaim October 15  of 
each
year as "White Cane Safety Day." President Lyndon Johnson was  the
first to make this proclamation. There is a variation of the White Cane  
Law in
every state. The St Lucie Chapter is observing this day to bring  awareness 
to residents,
especially drivers, concerning the White Cane Law.  
The St Lucie Chapter of NFB meets monthly on the
second Tuesday of the  month from 11am -1pm at WQCS Radio Station at Indian
River State College,  3209 Virginia Avenue, Ft Pierce. National Federation 
of
the Blind is the  oldest, largest and most influential membership 
organization
of people who  are blind/visually impaired in the United States. Founded in
1940, NFB’s  purpose is to help people who are blind/visually impaired 
achieve  self-confidence,
self-respect, and self-determination. NFB’s goal is the  complete 
integration of
people who are blind/visually impaired into society  on the basis of 
equality.
NFB advocates for the civil rights and equality  of people who are 
blind/visually
impaired, and develops innovative  educational, technological, and training
programs to provide people who are  blind and those who are losing their 
vision
with the tools they need to  become independent and successful. NFB welcomes
members of all ages,  including children and their parents. There is a 
parent’s
division (FOPBC)  for families of children from birth to 18 who are
blind/visually  impaired. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to  contact Doreen Franklin,
secretary of the Chapter, at 772-284-4458.   Doreen
is vice president of FOPBC.
