President Riccobono has asked us to take some time while we are all mostly at home to check in with each other and to reach out to members and other blind people. I know that some of us are doing this at an informal level but I would like to make it a little more organized. As blind people we face some extra challenges right now and some are able to find resources while others are having a difficult time.

First, we can check in with each other and offer any support needed. Second, we can talk about and set up ways to reach out to our members and other blind people to help them connect with local resources. Information for joining the call is included below my signature. I anticipate this call will last about one hour.
