[Nfbv-announce] Fairfax NFB Chapter I Phone Seminar

[joe hobson]

Wanda,

Another good program you are devloping and implementing for your Fairfax 
Chapter.
I talked with Corbb on Friday night, and he indicated he is helping on this 
program.
I do not have an Eye Phon.
I can barely utilize a Verizon Samsung Haven, and continuing to work to 
learn it's functionalities and features.
But, it would not hurt me to learn more about the Eye Phone ( is it Eye 
Phone, or I P(meaning letter I ) Phone?).
Unfortunately, I will be out of town on Saturday, April 28 and unable to 
attend your seminar.
I do, however, wish you success with the initiative.
