to whom it may concern,
My name is Cory Thompson and I am a member of the Sligo Creek chapter affiliate of the national Federation of the blind. I am very interested in participating in the focus group. I live in Germantown Maryland in Macgomery County in it is impossible for me to get to the focus group. If someone could contact me back on either one of my telephones that would be great. Telephone 1-240-771-5192 telephone 2240-4544201. Thank you for your time in this matter best regards Cory Thompson
