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:
??         4:00pm Eastern

??         3:00pm Central

??         2:00pm Mountain

??         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
