They will also have their mobile unit, “The Hearing Bus”, outside near the Blood Mobile. They will be offering free hearing screenings. The hearing screenings will be available on Saturday, October 8<sup>th</sup> from noon to 6 PM, (the same hours as our Exhibit Hall). Just like with the blood donation opportunity, your willingness to participate is completely yours. If you would be interested in receiving a free screening, please email or text me. I’d like to give the managers a the Hearing Center an idea of the level of interest we have. I’m told by many that I personally need to get my hearing checked, those who know me probably understand why.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Looking forward to hearing from everyone soon.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Respectfully,<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Russ Davis,<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Exhibit Hall Coordinator, 2022 NFB of Florida State Convention<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">NBoard Member, National Federation of the Blind of Florida<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Mobile: 904-993-8433<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Email: russell@radiorusty.com<o:p></o:p></p></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>NFBF-Leaders mailing list</span><br><span>NFBF-Leaders@nfbnet.org</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbf-leaders_nfbnet.org</span><br><span>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFBF-Leaders:</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbf-leaders_nfbnet.org/mbkilby%40gmail.com</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
