Good Morning to all my Federation Family,
Usually about this time every week I send out a note regarding our weekly Zoom cup of coffee meeting known as Sunrise and shine with NFB Newsline. The gathering is on vacation for a few weeks, and so will not take place tomorrow. We have plans for it to return soon. I miss our weekly get together and hope you do too. If you have not found your way into the call, please watch for future announcements, and feel free to join us for a morning beverage, a quick NFB Newsline lesson and some fun conversational topics. We always seem to have lively off-the-wall discussions and a lot of laughs.
In the meantime, we are in the middle of the 2020 National Federation of the Blinds annual convention, being held virtually. I am so thrilled to spread the word that information about the convention is available on NFB Newsline, and that many of the sessions will be available for you to listen to, right on Newsline. Although there are so many ways to stream audio of the convention proceedings, I can’t wait to try out listening via the trusty dial-in access method.
I found this morning’s email from the NFB regarding Convention so helpful I decided to forward it to you, just in case you were not included in the original mailing. If you read through it fully I know you will find it packed with information about ways to access and enjoy the 2020National Convention.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns about NFB Newsline, feel free to call our knowledgeable and friendly support team at 1-844-827-7371.
Have a great time at Convention and see you all soon!
Sincerely,
Russ Davis, Coordinator
