Topic Description: As we move into the cooler weather, you might be looking
for a good Book, magazines, or other periodical to read in the cozy warmth
of your home.  Our discussion topic for October will be the sharing of
different options for accessing accessible electronic written material.
Gone are the days where we have to wait to receive books through the mail in
specialized formats.  Now we can instantly access books, magazines, and
other reading material through our computers and smart phones.  We will
discuss the National Library Services Braille and Audio Reading Download
(BARD) program, BookShare, and NFB Newsline.  If you have used other sources
of electronic reading material such as Audible, Learning Ally, Overdrive,
etc., we invite you to share your experiences.  

 

Please plan to connect to Zoom prior to 7:00pm.  

 

Agenda:

*	Introduction of Chapter Board members.
*	Discussion of topics for Chapter meetings in November.
*	Discussion of a potential holiday party.
*	Selection of a nominating Committee Chair and members for our
elections in November.
*	Discussion of Chapter donation for Convention door prizes.

Looking forward to talking with you on Thursday evening October 15, at 7pm.
