If you put 4 commas after the phone number, then the passcode, that will get
you there with one quick dial up. Those commas, they create a pause, so then
the code comes in.

If you missed the January and February meetings, we missed you, too.
We have had general discussions thus far this year. And we look to have many 
more. We welcome proposals for topics and programs that will help our 
movement to improve situationans and understandings about blind folks in 
Montana.

Also, if you missed the last meeting, you are welcome to dial in and listen 
to the recording that was made.

meeting.
The February meeting CODE is:
1602#
This code is designed to be easy to remember
4 digits, year, then month, then pound sign.

I look forward to be speaking and moderating another  conversation talking 
with you all on Thursday.
I will have to leave promptly at 7:00 p.m. as we have an event to attend. 
But if at that time someone wants to continue to moderate, I think that 
would be fine.

I am inviting some guests to join us.
The Program for this meeting is open ended.
There has been a discussion on the list serve about the ever growing number 
various devices. Both high tech and low tech. Some solutions are actually 
more of a thinking cap solution.
Another thread I would invite discussion is that of common misconceptions 
about blindness. I imagine we all have some good personal examples and have 
read about them. As ambassadors of changing what it means to be blind and 
advocating that we can all live the life we want, this topick should be 
right up our alley.

Finally, I would like to strongly recommend that you  regularly visit our 
state affiliate's website.
www.nfbofmt.org
You will find many things there. Like about the annual state and national 
conventions, our 2016 legislative urgent action needed issues, and last but 
not least, information on where to send your annual dues, and other ways to 
support and be involved with the National Federation of the Blind of 
Montana. This outfit is important, and we have a lot to do. We need to grow, 
and in large part, that is up to each and all of us. Your participation is 
vital.

Thank you. for your support, your friendship and your willingness to help to 
change what it means to be blind in Montana.
