Greetings fellow Federationists:

 

The 72nd annual national convention of the National Federation of the Blind is rapidly approaching, so before everyone's schedule is entirely packed, I wanted to write to you to ask for your assistance.  The NFB-NEWSLINE team will be hosting a demonstration room and a table in the Exhibit Hall this year.  Both of these activities will require a number of volunteers and we would greatly appreciate any time that you could offer to help with our convention activities.  

 

We have recently launched new service features, and we want to give convention attendees an opportunity to become familiar with these additions so that they can make the most of them.  To aid us in this effort, in addition to our two tables at the Exhibit Hall, the NFB-NEWSLINE team has arranged for a demonstration room that will allow for hands-on demonstrations of our recent service enhancements, such as the Global Publication Search feature and the NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile application for the iPhone (our newest access method, coming soon).  

 

Our demonstration room will be available for 13 hours of walk-in traffic and our tables in the Exhibit Hall will need to be staffed for 23 hours, so we need plenty of help!  We are looking for support from our members who are familiar with the NFB-NEWSLINE service.  Our volunteers will be asked to assist visitors in many ways­by providing information, handing out literature, and helping sign up new subscribers.  Additionally, we need volunteers to staff our room's four workstations to help convention attendees learn about recent service additions.  We will provide those interested in volunteering with information on these new service initiatives before convention via a conference call so that everyone is up to speed.  

 

Please send an e-mail indicating your interest in volunteering during convention to my assistant, Wanda Briggs.  Wanda can be reached via e-mail at wbriggs at nfb.org or by calling (410) 659-9314, extension 2238.  

 

Thank you for your time and for your attention to this matter.  

 

Scott White
