>> Hi Ather. Thanks alot. We appreciate it tremendously. So with most of these apps, I don't want you to go to indepth. I want this to be a menu of demonstrations for beginners showing them how you scan, read, and go back through and read your stuff slowly. Cover saving just in the most simple terms and definitely cover the costs of each option. During question and answers, if something more indepth comes up, you can address it. So maybe plan to take about ten minutes with each one. Of course with JAWS, you might have to spend some time describing how to hook-up and configure everything. 
>> 
>> As for the flyer, I'm going to copy paste it below. If this doesn't work for you, message Krashona and she will text it to you. Thanks again.

>> Hi Richard,

>> I can definitely do the demos as well, yes. How in-depth do you want these demonstrations to be? Do you want me to just show them how to scan an image and let them know that the apps have additional capabilities? Or do you want me to save a scanned item to like, Dropbox or something?

>> Also, I need to tell you that you did not attach the flyer for this session to your previous email. I double-checked to make sure, and it is not there. I tried to call you to let you know earlier tonight, but you were unavailable. So, just send it when you are able to and I will see that it gets sent out to the necessary lists as soon as possible.

>> Hi Ather. Hope you're doing well. This is Richard Clay with two questions for you. First, can you forward the flyer for our upcoming program that I sent to you to some source where the chapters throughout the state can access it, or to someone who can do it? Second, Sabrina was going to demonstrate the KNFB Reader and the Voice Dreams Scanner at the program. She may not be able to do so now. If not, can you add these two programs to your demo of JAWS with the flatbed scanner? Let me know. Thanks.
