[NFBofSC] Positive Note 1820

Mon Jul 5 11:57:32 UTC 2021

Thank you to all who responded with assistance; knew I was not alone and the emails showed me other minds could help solve the issue. Also discovered who to go directly to in the future. I do hope you all have a great day.

I also discovered  that one  of  the new updates back in April messed up my Zoomtext because Microsoft did a lot  of updating on its accessibility. My ex husband is an I T tech and found the issue he ha addd to uninstall  my zoomtext As whatever the update did was messing up all other functions because zoomtext was trying to automatically come up  and  He told me to reinstall it and it should fix  it.

Once he uninstalled my zoomtext  my computer went back to working normally.

 But does anyone know what this Flow app Microsoft has Added in with the updates is about?

Hi Everyone,

So, there was an Windows update recently that seems to have did something that interferes with things in Microsoft Applications like Word or whatever. I’m sure you can already read the positive note lower on this email, but if the problem continues with other things you might try these steps:

1 Windows up arrow on Outlook, and/or the email to make sure it’s large enough for the screen reader to focus well.

2 If it’s still not reading, read the title bar with insert T. Does it say anything out of the ordinary, like some sort of protected view or anything?

3 Exit any dialog boxes or pop ups that might be interfering with the email. Then, alt tab to the email again.

If none of that works, I’m not sure what to do. I’m using regular Windows 10, so didn’t have the problem, but have noticed other people with the Office version have some differences in things.

Dear President Bazer:

I hope you are doing well today.  I must apologize but there continues to be an issue with the positive note as I continue to be unable to open your email with the subject line “positive note”.  I hope you have a good day.

Greetings Fellow Federationists:

Currently, I am at rocky Bottom directing children’s camp with 11 campers ages 7 to 12 and nine volunteers. We are having a blast and just returned from a full day of kayaking at Table Rock State Park and swimming in the lake. The kids were having a blast playing Marco Polo in the water, turning flips, and splashing and laughing. It has been so much fun seeing the kids receive white canes; some for the first time. One camper even said, “I am so happy. I get to keep it. I will hold onto it forever!” I will see you all when I return on Friday evening. Since we have our talent show and dinner for families on Thursday evening, we will not have Palmetto Connects on Thursday at 6:00. Instead, we will have it Friday night at 7:00 PM Eastern just before our audio described movie night.

In this PN, you will find updates on our national virtual convention July 6-10 and a schedule of events. We are also having a banquet party at the Center in Columbia, Saturday night, July 10 from 5:00 PM until. All are welcome. We will bring food in from the outside. The cost is $10 per person to assist with food. Please call, text or email me if you plan to attend. You will also find updates attendees in-person and virtual for our state convention, sponsorships and which chapter is in the lead, Cooper River Bridge run, NFB of SC Marriott ticket fund-raiser, zoom events this week, scholarship contributors,  and much more.

Update 65th Annual State convention

We currently have 66 individuals registered for the state convention in-person and 21 registered virtually! I want to thank all of you who have registered for our convention. We are going to have an amazing event, and we want everyone to be a part of it. If you have not registered for our NFB of SC state convention which will be held hybrid at the North Charleston Marriott august 20-22 (many of us are arriving August 19), please consider attending with us virtually or in-person. Specific details about the convention, hotel rates, registration rates and more can be found later in this Positive Note. Also, thank you to our chapter and division presidents for insuring your members know the latest happenings in our affiliate and about our state convention. Let’s give everyone who wishes to attend our convention an opportunity, through transportation, Palmetto Grant for first-timers (see details later in the PN), and other creative ways, we want everyone who wants to attend to be with us August 20-22. Remember, there are two additional monetary drawings in June. Those who register from June 1-June 30 11:59 PM in-person or virtually will have their name entered into a $50 drawing. Those who make the hotel reservations between June 1-June 30 at 11:59 PM will b entered into a second $50 drawing. Let’s get your registrations in by June 30 as they will increase after 11:59 PM on July 15. We have increased our room block for Thursday, August 19, but please do not delay, once this block is full for this night, we may not be able to increase again. If you have ideas about convention agenda items, please let me know.

Also, please remember to pay your 2021 dues by June 30 so that you may vote in our 2021 elections during state convention. If you are not sure you have paid, please contact Thom Spittle at 803-331-3344. The deadline to pay these dues and vote is 11:59 PM Eastern on June 30.

NFB of SC Fund-raiser, Marriott Raffle

Ten tickets were sent to all chapter and division presidents for our NFB of SC fund-raiser for the Marriott. Two nights and breakfast for two valued at $500 to be used by September 1, 2022. The drawing will be held during Palmetto Connects on November 18. One ticket for $10 or three tickets for $25. Please call David Houck at the Center at 803-254-3777 if you need tickets. You may send a check to the Center at 119 S. Kilbourne Road, Columbia, SC 29205 or pay using Pay Pal on our site.

Put it on Face book, ask your friends and family to purchase, sell to places you go.

Let’s work together to make this a successful fund-raiser for the Palmetto affiliate. 

State Convention Transportation

We are looking to partner with Lion Vision Services (LVS) to work out transportation for everyone interested in attending convention in person. LVS is asking me to identify how many folks in each region will need transportation. The only way I can accurately tell them is for you to let me know. If the only reason you have not registered for the state convention is due to lack of transportation or uncertainty about transportation, please register for the convention in person and we will insure you have a ride. Once you register and you need transportation, please text, call or email me so I can let LVS know accurate numbers for each region. Those chapters with vans, I am hopeful that you will offer folks a ride and partner with other chapters to assist as well. Transportation will not be a deterrent. If you are looking for a roommate for the state convention, please let me know so that we can spread the word. Let’s try to work together so that everyone who wishes to attend the convention, can attend.

2021 Awards, Please get your Nominations in!

We are accepting nominations for employer of the year, educator of the year and the Donald C Capps award. Nominations for Educator of the year will be sent to Marty McKenzie, Employer of the Year to Steve Cook and the Donald C Capps to David Houck.

The Donald C Capps will recognize a sighted or blind member in our affiliate since we no longer distinguish between the two. A member is a member and the most important role in our organization.

Please get your nominations in by August 2!

Please include why you feel this individual or business deserves these awards.

The chapter or divisions who obtains the most sponsorship donation in dollar amount will receive a percentage of the total donations raised. Our goal is $15,000.

Cooper River Bridge Run

Our Sports and Recreation Division will be coordinating the Cooper River Bridge Run held the last Saturday in September. We plan to rent an Air BNB the night before in the Charleston/MT. Pleasant area to prevent early Saturday driving. After you have registered with Shree from the information provided below, please contact me or David Rebocho to let us know if you wish to stay in the Air BnB the night before. All individuals staying at the Air BnB will need to pay their part in the rental of the house by August 15, 2021. Please remember you can get friends and family to sponsor you to run or walk during this event to cover registration and housing costs.

Here is a message from our contact:

You can direct participants to Shree.  I'll include all the contact info at the bottom of this email. Shree can help them sign our waiver and then she can collect the information necessary to help them register.  

After looking at the CRBR website, it appears that the registration fee goes up as the date draws closer.  Until June 15 the registration fee is $50.  After that the fee jumps to $55, then it jumps again to $60 after August 15.

NFB of SC 65th Annual State Convention!

I encourage you to register for our 65th annual state convention and attend the way that best fits your comfort level at this time. We currently have 21 virtual registrants and 66 in-person registrants .Our goal is  fifty in-person participants and we have exceeded that goal. Can we reach 100 in-person participants? We have several contests listed below for those registering in-person or virtually between June 1 and June 30 will be entered into a $50 drawing, and those registering at the hotel in Charleston will be entered into a separate $50 drawing so please insure your name is in one of those drawings. Also, we will be running a contest for the chapter or division who obtains the most money in sponsorships. Let’s work to exceed our $15,000 sponsorship goal to defray the cost of the convention. If you will need transportation or a roommate during the convention in North Charleston, please call/text me at 803-960-9977 or email me at 

Jhipp25 at sc.rr.com <mailto:Jhipp25 at sc.rr.com> 

This information will go on the listserv. The transportation requests will help us in determining pick-up points around the state. I am hopeful that chapters with vans will assist in the transportation process as well as, others in the community.

Let’s talk about our state convention in detail.

We will be having our sixty-fifth NFB of SC state convention August 19-22, 2021 at the North Charleston Marriott, 4770 Goer Drive, North Charleston, SC, 29406. It is time for all of us to begin making our reservations and registering for our hybrid convention. You may contact the hotel directly at 843-747-1900 and let them know you are registering for the NFB of SC state convention to receive the discounted rates.

Room rates are as follows:

Singles and doubles, $115.00 per night.

Triples, $125.00 per night.

Quads, $135.00 per night.

You will also need to add sales tax which currently is 14%.

The NFB of SC block of rooms at the above rates will be good until July 29, 2021 until 5:00 PM Eastern time. After that date, the hotel will release the rooms to the general public and we will not be guaranteed our group rate.

The NFB of SC board voted on Thursday, April 22, 2021 on the following rates for convention registration. The prices include reception on Friday night, boxed breakfast Saturday and Sunday, and banquet Saturday night. There will not be a luncheon on Saturday afternoon.

Adults, $85.00 per person until July 15; $100.00 after this date.

College, graduate and doctoral students, $55 per person until July 15; $60 after this date.

Individuals 18 and younger, $25.00 per person until July 15; $30 after this date.

Virtual, $25.00 per person until July 15; $30 after this date.

In order to have a hybrid event so that as many individuals can attend as possible, we are charging a small registration fee for virtual attendance to cover the cost of broadcasting from the Marriott; the hotel charges the NFB of SC around $1,000 for audiovisual equipment and broadcasting.

If you plan to vote in this year’s election for the NFB of SC, you will need to be a member of the NFB of SC in good standing as of June 30, 2021 by 11:59 PM Eastern Standard time. 

You may register using a paper registration form, complete and enclose payment and send to the Federation Center, 2021 NFB of SC State Convention, 119 S. Kilbourne Road, Columbia, SC 29205.

You may also register online and submit payment through Pay Pal or you may send in your payment to the Center at the above address. Registration will not be confirmed until payment has been received through the mail or Pay Pal. If using Pay Pal, please remember to add 3% to your total to cover Pay Pal’s administration fees and so that NFB of SC receives the entire amount.

Let’s have a large in-person and virtual turn-out for the NFB of SC Sixty-Fifth state convention!
