> also asked if he had any handouts for me to produce in alternative

> our meeting on the twelfth, and he said that he would have no handouts to 
> distribute.  He didn't ask me to contact anyone else about this, although 
> he did say that I should feel free to call him at any time.  I'd planned 
> to call him again this morning to reconfirm the specific time and make 
> sure he had directions to the Victor Building for tomorrow's meeting.

> Based on your note saying that he'll try to call in at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow 
> during our meeting, I'll contact all of the CIC members asking them to 
> have specific questions ready (about the problems with transportation for 
> blind individuals in the Detroit Metro Area) for Mr. Bernstein's phone 
> presentation.  I'm sending a cc of this email to all CIC members who use 
> email, and I'll phone the other members this morning.
>
> Thank you for providing Mr. Bernstein with the call-in number and 
> passcode. If he's unable to call in to the meeting tomorrow from New York, 
> we can certainly invite him to attend the next meeting.

> Hello,
> I spoke yesterday with Richard Bernstein about tomorrow's meeting.  He did 
> not receive confirmation about the meeting, agenda, etc.  Perhaps that was 
> my responsibility as I invited him to speak about the problems with 
> transportation for blind individuals in the Detroit Metro Area.  I am not 
> aware of how this is typically handled.
>
> As a result, he did not get the meeting into his schedule.  He is 
> traveling tomorrow morning to NYC and will make every effort to get to a 
> location by 11:00 to phone in to the meeting.  I have relayed the phone 
> number and passcode to him so we can anticipate his involvement late in 
> the meeting, possibly running over a bit into the public comment time.
>
> I would suggest we have very focused questions ready for Mr. Bernstein so 
> that we make the best use of the short time he will have to share his 
> experience and knowledge of the transportation concerns with us.
>
> If you both feel this arrangement will work, could you inform the other 
> members of the group so they are aware and can formulate thoughts and 
> questions for Mr. Bernstein?
>
> Thanks very much.  I look forward to tomorrow's meeting.
