Hey NFB Family and Friends,

Hope everyone has had a  great week! Check out what's happening with your
NFBV Family this week and stay tuned for Chapter Meetings and events
starting next week.

Kudos Corner.

Del Bailey, a  loved, respected and much valued, member of the Greater
Williamsburg Chapter will be thanked and honored, read below  and join in
thanking him for his service. Carol Bailey, Del's  wife, writes, Have  you
ever heard of Honor Flights?  If not I suggest you Google it.  In our case
it is a bus ride and not a plane ride.

Dal has been asked to go this year and each Veteran needs a Guardian.  Dal
has asked our grandson Lucas Tucker, Jeff's son to be his guardian.  Lucas
is in the Navy stationed in Norfolk.  It is a honor to be asked to go and to
be a guardian.  Our friends that have gone before, say it is such a
wonderful day and one they will never forget.

On the way home, they present an envelope to each veteran that contains
letters, cards, postcards, etc that have been sent to the address below or
any other item you would like to give to the veteran thanking them for their
service, telling them how proud you are of them, or just something to help
them remember this trip.

Dal is scheduled to go to the World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War
Memorials on April 23.  This is also Dal's birthday.

Please start sending your cards,letters etc.  All correspondence must arrive
before April 15 to assure that Dal will receive them on the trip.

Send to

Old Dominion Honor Flight

Attn:  Mail Call for Dalene Bailey

Thanks for all your help to make this a special day for Dal & Lucas.

Spotlight On.

TPGi is recruiting individuals to participate in a usability study conducted
by a federal government agency in the Baltimore Maryland area. The study
will be focused on the accessibility of check-in kiosk machines. We are
looking for participants who meet all of the following criteria:

           1.      Are considered legally blind or regarded as blind, but do
not have any additional disability

           2.      Are not Federal employees or contractors of the Social
Security Administration

           3.      Are aged 18 or over

           4.      Are fluent in English

           5.      Have a Government-issued identity card

           6.      Are available to travel to a location in Baltimore to
take part in a study between April 6th and 8th

We expect the study to involve you carrying out some tasks using a kiosk
device, and answering some questions about your experience. We expect the
study will last approximately 60 minutes. If selected to participate, you
will receive a gift card to the value of US$150 as compensation for your
time.

The study will take place on-site at a Government agency headquarters. All
participants will be required to show government-issued ID in order to
access the study location, and to wear a face mask for the duration of the
study. Please fill out the form at the following link to indicate your
interest in participating in the study.

Press, Free Lance Star, News Virginian, Richmond Times Dispatch, Roanoke
Times, Stars and Stripes, Staunton News Leader, and Hampton Roads Virginian
