We’ve been wanting to have the folks from Be My Eyes with us for a very long time and this Thursday, April 11<sup>th</sup> at 9:00 AM,(Eastern), the founder of Be My Eyes, Hans Jorgen Wiberg will be joining us to help celebrate our momentous event. Hans will be joining in all the way from Denmark, (that’s a first for us I believe).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Be My Eyes has led the way for remote assistance volunteer services for people in the blind and print impaired communities and has continually added new and exciting features since it launched as a mobile app several years ago. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">I can’t overstate how the feature known as, “Be My AI” has impacted my life in an incredible way. I use this feature multiple times every single day. It’s a total game changer for so many other users who I’ve spoken with. Another feature that I am beginning to rely on heavily is the “service provider” directory. Like the AI feature, there’s no need to speak with a sighted volunteer if you don’t wish to. It’s all anonymous.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">By the way, whether you reach out to a sighted volunteer who uses your phones camera to assist you, or you use AI or another feature, Be My Eyes is completely and totally free, (no matter how much you use it). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">As we speak with Hans, I’m going to offer some suggestions on how to make the service and the AI section even better, I know he’ll be glad to hear from all of us. You will have a chance to ask him questions and tell us all how you use the service. We can all learn from each other, like we always do on Sunrise and Shine.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Another good reason you’ll want to come on the call Thursday is because, as with many of our celebrations, Sunrise and Shine will be giving away cash prizes to some lucky attendees. I’ll be drawing a couple of names from the attendance list and will be passing out some cold hard cash!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Now, I need a big favor from you. I’d like to fill the Zoom room up with more visitors than we’ve ever had, so having you spread the word about the call to as many folks in your circle as possible would be awesome. We welcome folks from all over the globe, (it’s not just a Florida thing). We also don’t limit the call to members of any particular organization. Everyone is welcome. You also might know people who’d like to sign up as volunteers for Be My Eyes, having them join us would be terrific and would give them the chance to find out about how Be My Eyes helps us live our lives better every day.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The regulars on our call are always warm and welcoming and are thrilled to see new faces. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Hope to have you with us this Thursday morning, see below for the Zoom info. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me before the call.
