[NFBF-L] Happily Accessing Your Kitchen on Tomorrow's Sunrise and Shine! Thursday, July 23rd at 9:00 AM ET

Yes, great progress, however the ADA has not created progress in employment for blind people.  The statistics continue to show little real progress.  Advances in technology have opened much for us, but that was not through the ADA, but rather the 1979 Rehabilitation Act.  I am not discouraged, I do see opportunities for positive change.

Hi, sherri,

We were sorry to not have you with us.

This past Sunrise and Shine call was an excellent one. Thanks so much to all of the attendees, but most especially to our special guest, Chef Jerilyn Higgins. She was the star of the show. Peggy also helped out a tremendous amount and for that we were all grateful.

I have to brag a bit about ‘Rise and Shine. This past Thursday, we had over 22 people on the call. We had some of our regulars who have become part of the “Rise and Shine family over the past  6 ½ years, we had brand new folks who I certainly hope will return, we had people from inside and outside of Florida and even had two attendees from outside of the US. It was quite the gathering.

I hope with our next call on Thursday, August 13th, we’ll be able to cover the exciting updates to the NFB-NEWSLINE® audio information service, such as the updated mobile app and the addition of new magazine content.

Hope to have you and many others join us for our next Zoom gathering.

All my best,

Russ,

Sorry I missed it. I was out of town at my daughter Katie’s celebrating her marriage. I’m sure it was a wonderful presentation.

Good morning to all, Sunrise and Shine Family! 

How much time do you spend in the kitchen each day. Some studies show that most American’s spend about 40 minutes each day preparing food and cleaning up after meals. Frankly, I am skeptical about this estimate. I also will probably get myself in trouble when I state my opinion that, Blind and low-vision people might spend a bit more than 40 minutes in the kitchen each day.

On tomorrow’s Sunrise and Shine, we’ll cover tips and tricks on how to make your kitchen time more efficient and much more enjoyable. There are ideas to share and devices to discuss and I can’t wait to talk about them.

We will most likely have a special guest joining us tomorrow as well. Jerilynn Higgins, author of the fabulous book, Look Who’s in the Kitchen, has so much to tell us and I know will be able to answer lots of questions. It will be terrific to have our friend Jerilynn back on ‘Rise and Shine tomorrow morning.

If you haven’t been to one of our calls before, joining us at 9:00 AM for coffee or tea will give you a chance to find out what you’ve been missing. We always take time for welcoming new guest speakers and participants and for lots of warmth and laughter.

Most of us have become pretty familiar with attending meetings using the Zoom platform over the past few years and in fact, we’ve been using Zoom since we launched Rise and Shine way back on April 16th2020. If you’re not used to using Zoom or if it’s still giving you difficulties, don’t give up just yet. You can access the meeting by clicking on he below listed web link, by using the one tap mobile feature or by dialing the phone number provided and entering the access code when prompted.

The regulars on our call are always warm and welcoming and are thrilled to see new faces. 

Hope to have you with us this Thursday morning, see below for the Zoom info. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me before the call. Check the bottom of this email for the Zoom call-in instructions.
