We’ve been waiting for the E-Readers to make their appearance in Florida for what seems like an awfully long time and finally it’s our turn. Most other states have received and have deployed the devices to their Talking Book patrons and so I am encouraging ‘Rise and Shine family from outside of Florida to be with us Thursday as well. We could use your input about the devices, as I’m sure that many here in Florida on our call will have questions that need answers.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">Along with welcoming our friend Nicole, we also will be able to spend time with two friends from the Florida Division of Blind Services. Sila Miller and Adam Gaffney have graciously accepted my request to come and speak to us all about the new Senior Equipment and Training Project. Discussion about this recently launched program has been filtering out to blind Floridians over the past few months and it’s past time that those of us who gather for our twice monthly Sunrise and Shine call got the official scoop and had the chance to ask some important questions. If you meet the qualifications for this truly beneficial opportunity, The Florida Division of Blind Services, in partnership with the Blind Services Foundation, could assist you in obtaining access technology or other needed equipment with a value of up to $2,500.00. I certainly plan to take advantage of this opportunity and hopefully you can too. If you are age 55 or older or know any blind Floridians who are at least age 55, please share the information about tomorrow’s ‘Rise and Shine and take the time to join us.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">If you haven’t been to one of our calls before, joining us at 9:00 AM for a relaxing no stress get together 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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">Most of us have become pretty familiar with attending meetings using the Zoom platform over the past couple of years and in fact, we’ve been using Zoom since we launched Rise and Shine way back on April 16th 2020. 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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">The regulars on our call are always warm and welcoming and are thrilled to see new faces. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">Hope to have you with us Thursday morning, see below for the Zoom info. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me before the call.
