[NFBKTAD] NFB-NEWSLINE Kentucky State Convention $100 Visa Drawing

[slery]

All the blind people I know in Kentucky are already subscribers.

I only know one person in Indiana and she has memory issues from two 
strokes (that caused blindness in one eye) and she is almost 80 so I 
haven't been able to get her to do much. At this time, Newsline requires 
too many steps for her to follow. This might be something Newsline could 
consider in the future specifically for blind people that have cognitive 
impairments where after someone setup their publications they simply 
call a number and it automatically starts reading the latest edition and 
then they simply hang up. She doesn't even watch tv right now. Her 
daughter says it is because she can't see it, but I think she may also 
get tired of trying to follow it.
