Bapin     You are so much appreciated.    Please give us 48 hours to get you the call in number and
the access code.   We usually use the same one...but the NFB nationally is switching over to Zoom.
Therefore, I want to be sure.   In the interim, by copy to our Division President, Brian Norton, we will
get everything straightened out and look forward to having you as a presenter on the call.

We promise to get all the information accurately gathered by the end of the week.

Good Morning, Bapin



The situation with COVID19 sure has all of us working hard to

know each day and the date.   On April 14, I sent this forwarded

email to Janice.    We recently received a response suggesting

you might consider speaking for 15 minutes on the iCanConnect

program.



Our next meeting is Tuesday, May 12 at 7 p.m.    It is always

a teleconference call and we should have at least 10 members

and officers of the Deaf-Blind Division, NFBF on the call.



Would you consider and be willing to speak on this very

important program which provides great opportunities for all

citizens with dual vision and hearing loss.  We understand your

calendar may not permit you to be available for May 12 and

would welcome you to cover this subject at our June meeting.



If you have updated information on the iCanConnect program,

we would appreciate receiving some copies for the group.



Thank you for your service and the efforts you are making to

provide equipment and training here in Florida.   An e-mail

response would be deeply appreciated.

Good Evening, Janice



May we please inquire if you would be able to attend (teleconference)

the May 12 Meeting of the Deaf-Blind Division of the NFBF at 7 p.m.

We would like to suggest 15 or 20 minutes to cover key points of

information.



We are a small group of 12 members but there is a lot to do here in

Florida.   There is particular interest in the iCanConnect Program and

the general services provided to the deaf-blind here in Florida....

by the State of Florida and the Helen Keller National Center.



Please do not conclude we are circumventing Cory Parker or Bapin....

rather reaching out to determine the correct person to contact with

this request.   We just concluded our April meeting by teleconference

and we really want to learn more.



We hope this finds you well and navigating the need for social

distancing   Joe and I do understand social distancing is a challenging

element for the deaf-blind.   You are all in our thoughts and prayers.



Best;  Talk Soon...r
