Announcing the Prince William Low-Vision Resource Fair for Children and 
Adults 

(Woodbridge, VA) - The Prince William Chapter of the National Federation of 
the Blind is hosting its first annual Low-Vision Resource Fair for Children 
and Adults on Saturday, May 1, 2010, in the Cedar Run room of the McCoart 
Building located at 1 County Complex Court, Woodbridge from 10:00 a.m. until 
1:00 p.m. 

At the fair, attendees will have an opportunity to meet vendors representing 
low and high-tech products for the visually impaired as well as learning 
about other community resources for those with vision loss. 

Jody Silverberg, President of the Prince William Chapter of the NFB said, 
"One of the biggest problems we all have is finding the resources we need. 
The resources are out there and this fair will bring everyone together". 
There are people and products out there that can help, and we invite anyone 
with vision loss to come and find the solution that works best for them," 
Silverberg said. 

One of the highlights of the fair will be a demonstration of NFB-NEWSLINE. 
This free service is available to anyone who is unable to read the newspaper 
and who has a phone or computer. With a NFB-NEWSLINE subscription, you can 
have access to over 300 U.S. newspapers with the ease of making a local 
phone call.     

If you are unable to attend the fair but wish to be informed about future 
events and programs, please contact Jody Silverberg at 703-730-1716.
