New PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY group forms to meet needs of people with vision
impairments.
(Woodbridge,Va) -An organization dedicated to the blind and those with low
vision is re-organizing. The new Prince William Chapter of the National
Federation of the Blind will hold its first meeting on Thursday, January 28, 2010 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Among the highlights of the meeting will be a presentation from a
representative of the NFB-NEWSLINE. He will be focusing on how to easily
access all the features built into NFB-NEWSLINE by simply pressing the phone
buttons. New subscribers will also be able to sign up for the NFB-NEWSLINE
at that time.
Many people who have vision loss often miss being able to read the newspaper
independently. NFB-NEWSLINE is an over-the-phone free service which makes
available over 300 national and local newspapers to Virginians. It enables
them to continue reading periodicals whenever and wherever they want. All
that is needed to start receiving NFB-NEWSLINE is a subscription and a
telephone. The call is local.
The meeting will be held in the board room of the Potomac and Rappahannock
Transportation Commission, located at 14700 Potomac Mills Road, Woodbridge,
22192. Everyone is welcome! We promise information and fellowship.
Light refreshments will be served.
If you are unable to attend but wish to be informed about future events and
programs, please contact Jody Silverberg at 703-730-1716.
The National Federation of the Blind is a non-profit self- help organization
consisting of over 50,000 members and 700 chapters throughout the 50 states.
The NFB was organized by the blind to help the blind achieve security,
opportunity, and equality via education and advocacy.
