[NFBF-L] FW: [New post] Ready for a little retail therapy? Let’s Go Shopping!

Wed Apr 1 02:36:25 UTC 2020

Hi everyone.

First, it was really fun taking part in the call with our NFBF family.  Elegant Insights is a jewelry company who exhibited at the NFB convention and sells custom-made Braille jewelry.  They are hosting a day of shopping on Saturday with lots of different venders.  It will be hosted on the Zoom platform, so here’s your chance to learn about Zoom.  I’m passing this along, because it sounds like lots of fun.  I’ll be there and hope you will be too.

by  <https://elegantinsightsjewelry.com/?author=1> Laura Legendary 

With millions of us self-isolating, doing our part to stay home and stay healthy, the demands on our finances, resources, and patience has been significant. No more so than for seniors and people with disabilities, for whom the changes in day-to-day life has not only been disruptive, but frustrating as well. Tasks such as shopping, once made easier by caregivers, whether children, grandchildren, home-care provider, or a visiting friend are now out of reach for some. Still others may have had to give up the seat in front of the family PC so that their spouse can continue to work, now from home. Still others may find that home confinement means they no longer have access to their company bandwidth and lightning-fast Internet speeds. The stress and anxiety with which many are now struggling, thanks to the sudden, head-spinning reality of the surreal, new normal can make an activity as pleasurable as shopping seem overwhelming. 

With upcoming gift-giving occasions such as Easter, Mother's Day, graduations, and so on, I wanted to help people get some shopping done in an easy, stress-free way, , while ensuring we all continue to adhere to the self-isolation guidelines. So, I organized an all-day, online, virtual event called "Let's Go Shopping!"

On Saturday, April 4th, beginning at 7 AM Pacific time, and lasting for 12 hours, you can use the Zoom Video Conferencing platform to shop till you drop. Zoom enables users to access meetings and virtual events by using a desktop, smartphone, tablet, or even a landline telephone. These days, it seems that everyone is using Zoom, whether for schoolwork, dance lessons, concerts, and now...shopping!

Here is the schedule for the day, along with all the vendor info. Scroll to the bottom for the Zoom access info. There's no need to RSVP, or even register. However, some of the vendors are giving away door prizes, and you may be asked for your email address so that arrangements can be made to ship it to you if you win one. How fun is that?

Let's Go Shopping Schedule
