National Senior Division Conference Calls

Classic cars at Hershey Park. Jane Degenshein is the driver with family.

>From February through June of each year, the Senior Division of the National 
Federation of the Blind proudly sponsors conference calls on a variety of 
topics with moderators presiding over each call. We hope these calls provide 
information and thoughtful discussions in your local chapter and other 
senior meetings throughout the year.

To attend the calls, dial 515-603-3166, then use access code 759633 pound. 
You will hear the code you entered repeated. Press 1 if it is correct. Press 
2 to re-enter it. If you press 1, you then announce yourself by stating your 
name and you will then be entered into the conference call.

Times for calls:
  a.. 4:00pm Eastern
  b.. 3:00pm Central
  c.. 2:00pm Mountain
  d.. 1:00pm Pacific
Please determine for yourself the time to enter the call if you live in a 
time zone other than those listed above.

OUR REQUEST OF YOU:
In order to obtain the best possible sound for these calls, it is 
recommended that each caller, after dialing in, input star 6 which puts you 
in a mute mode. You will be able to hear everything during the call but 
background noise from your location will not disturb others listening in on 
the conversation. When you wish to speak and enter the discussion, input 
star 6 once again and you will be released from the mute mode and able to 
participate.

Also, it is highly recommended of all participants, that each person wishing 
to speak, state his or her name, and wait for the moderator to recognize you 
before speaking. We can have too many people trying to seek the floor at one 
time and chaos can occur. The moderator will do their very best to recognize 
as many callers as possible however, they will determine the order in which 
speakers have the floor. When finished with your comments, input star 6 once 
again to go back into the mute mode, to facilitate better, uncluttered 
communication for everyone.

Listening to recordings of past conferences:
Because our conference calls contain information that’s helpful and 
interesting to blind seniors, we archive all of them within hours of their 
completion. There are two options for listening to a past recording:

#1 Listen from this page using your computer:
There is a link “listen to this recording” associated with each past 
conference listed below. Click on that link and your computer will give you 
the following two options: OPEN or SAVE the file. If you want to listen to 
it, choose to OPEN it; your computer’s media-player will come up and play 
the recording. If you choose the save option, you then can download the MP3 
file on to your computer to be played later. Plus, you would have the option 
to give it to a friend or family member to listen to.

#2 Listen By telephone:
It is possible to use your telephone to dial into where recorded copies of 
our phone conferences are stored; on the FreeconferenceCall.com company 
site. these recordings are the original raw copies. The trimmed and polished 
versions are only found here on our site, available as described above in 
option #1.

Here is the procedure for this option: Dial- 1(515) 604-1466. You will 
reach, FreeConferenceCall.Com. At the prompt, punch in the following access 
code- 759633Pound. After the welcome message by the system, you will be ask 
to input the reference number for the recording you wish to listen to, 
followed by the POUND key; each past recorded conference listed below will 
give you its required reference number. Or, to listen to the most recent 
recording, just press the POUND key.
