<p>All the blind people I know in Kentucky are already subscribers.</p>
<p>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.</p>

has been very little activity on this front,
so I wanted to send a reminder about the
NFB-NEWSLINE Kentucky $100 Visa drawing.
There are two crucial benchmarks that must
be met in our outreach regarding the
NFB-NEWSLINE service across the country. The
first is promoting regular usage among
current subscribers, and the second is
adding new subscribers to the service. The
ratio of print impaired individuals not
subscribed, but yet eligible remains very
low at a little over four percent in this
state.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">We
need everyone in this state to be actively
involved in promoting this service. Blind
and sighted alike are welcome to participate
in this campaign. There is no guarantee that
NFB-NEWSLINE Kentucky will always be
available; we cannot take this world class
reading service for granted. NFB-NEWSLINE is
a treasured resource for the print impaired
in this state and around the country.
Therefore, I would like to introduce a
promotional campaign known as the
NFB-NEWSLINE Kentucky Visa Drawing. The name
of any individual who refers a subscriber,
or subscribers to the NFB-NEWSLINE® audio
reading service will receive one ticket per
referral to be placed into a hopper for a
special drawing. Please note that
subscribers to the NFB-NEWSLINE® service are
only eligible if they have a qualifying
print impairment. For reference those
impairments are in the following categories:
vision, fine motor skills and cognition. Any
person working on the NFB-NEWSLINE Kentucky
project will not be eligible for this
drawing. Self-referrals are not eligible
either. Feel free to refer a spouse,
sibling, parent(s) or children. Please be
sure that you discuss and clear with the
perspective referral, though. If the
referral that you submit is not willing to
participate in this audio reading service
known as NFB-NEWSLINE®, you will not get
credit for a referral. Lastly, the referral
must reside in Kentucky.<o:p></o:p></p>

will conclude this campaign during the NFB
Kentucky State Convention. the name of the
winner from this giveaway will be drawn
during our banquet along with all of the
other drawings that we have. The winner will
receive a $100 Visa gift card in
recognition for their contribution to the
NFB-NEWSLINE® project here in Kentucky.<o:p></o:p></p>
