<font size=2>Greetings!<br>
</font> <br>
<font size=2>We wish to announce the launch of NFB Live, a voice
chat site hosted by the National Federation of the Blind of New
York. Our grand opening will be on Saturday August 30. The
day's activities as of now include games, door prizes, and a series of
special guests and venders. The day will start at 2:00 PM Eastern
with Carl Jacobsen, from the NFB of New York introducing two
distinguished guest speakers, Mister Mark Riccobono, President of the
National Federation of the Blind, and Doctor Marc Maurer, immediate past
president. Throughout the day, we will have a series of
presentations by several speakers and venders. At present, we are
proud to have Art Schreiber who will discuss his experiences as one of
two American reporters who travelled with the Beatles during their 1964
US/Canadian tour, and James Gashel who will discuss the KNFB Reader for
iPhones, . We are happy to also have Dan Parker, blind motorcycle driver,
who will tell us about his adventures driving in the Bonneville Salt
Flats.<br>

<font size=2>J.J. Meddaugh from the A T Guys will offer a presentation on
his organization's products, and James Boehm from Kustomcane, will inform
us about his unique line of canes and accessories. We also will
talk with Gail Smith about Braille greeting cards. We'll end the
night with a few games.<br>
