Subject: [Nfbmo] Regarding the NLS Survey

Hi   Federationists,
There have been 2 posts regarding the  customer survey  being conducted 
by the NLS.  I want to add a  further note urging you to  take part.   I'm 
speaking here  not as a member of the Wolfner  Advisory Board but simply as
an  
enthusiastic Wolfner reader. 
And possibly a little  paranoid, given all  the news about budget 
issues, but... what the  heck... humor me,  please?

A high  participation in this survey will  allow NLS to report to 
Congress  that there is great interest in their services  by their 
customers  
(us).    Programs that were once considered  completely  safe  now seem to 
be

fair game for the chopping  block.   Recall that it wasn't that long ago 
that
we 
had to fight hard to   stop Congress from cutting off funds to complete the 
transition from  tape  cassettes to the digital format.  Though there is no 
talk  that I know of  seeking to cut NLS, we can never be  complacent.   
Helping NLS with feedback can  help them to  offer more services more 
efficiently, thus offering  more and better service at  less cost - 
something

everyone likes  to hear.  So take the time to call NLS  at the number 
listed  
below to give your 2 cents - cheap for the value  received,  yes?
I return you now to your regularly scheduled  BARD  digital book.
