She currently resides in South Carolina and is the fabulous <br>secretary for the National Federation of the Blind Senior <br>Division. She reports:<br>"This afforded me the opportunity, in those early days especially, to <br>teach blind individuals skills, and at the same time, really feel <br>confident within myself to accomplish what I was telling others they <br>could do. I have met so many wonderful people through the National <br>Federation of the Blind who have helped to shaped my opportunities <br>and ultimate belief in myself." Shelley willingly passes her <br>knowledge and skill on to others. Please join her as she moderates <br>this all-important conference call.<br><br>All calls will be held at the times listed below<br><br>4:00Eastern standard time,<br>3:00 Central time,<br>2:00 Mountain time,<br>1:00 Pacific time.<br><br>The conference call numbers are as follows for all calls:<br><br>Dial 712-432-1500<br><br>Access code:<br>759633pound.<br><br>All calls will be recorded and put on the NFB Senior webpage and <br>directions for calling back to listen to the call if missed will be <br>given a few hours after the calls have taken place.<br><br>In order to obtain the best possible sound for these calls, it is <br>recommended that each caller, after dialing in, press star 6 which <br>puts you in a "mute" mode. You will be able to hear everything <br>during the call but background noise from your location will not <br>disturb others listening in on the conversation. When you wish to <br>speak and enter the discussion, press star 6 once again and you will <br>be released from the "mute" mode and able to participate.<br><br>It is also highly recommended that each person wishing to speak state <br>his or her name and wait for the moderator to recognize you before <br>speaking. We can have too many people trying to seek the floor at <br>one time and chaos can occur. The moderator will do the very best to <br>recognize as many callers as possible however, Shelley will determine <br>the order in which speakers poceed.<br><br>Again, when finished with your comments, press star 6 once again to <br>go back into "mute" mode to facilitate better, uncluttered <br>communication for everyone.<br><br>We look forward to a stimulating, thought-provoking discussion with <br>many callers contributing their experiences and knowledge to seniors <br>who are anticipating stepping out once again into the community <br>around them. Please enjoy this upcoming conference call and share <br>the information you learn with fellow colleagues, neighbors and friends.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Ruth Sager<br>Coordinator, Senior Services<br>Rehabilitation Division<br>Blind Industries and Services of Maryland (BISM)<br>3345 Washington Boulevard<br>Baltimore, MD 21227<br>Office: 410-737-2649<br>Fax: 410-737-2689<br>www.bism.org<http://www.bism.org><br><br><br><br>[cid:image001.png@01D03BBB.7BF8F220]<br><br><br>SAVE THE DATE--August 20, 2015 POSSIBILITIES FAIR for Seniors Losing <br>Vision Blind Industries and Services of Maryland (BISM)<br>3345 Washington Blvd., Baltimore, MD 21227 Recommended for Low Vision <br>& Blind Seniors 55 +<br>For more info, contact: Andy McIver, amciver@bism.org, 410-737-2648<br>Ruth Sager, rsager@bism.org, 410-737-2649 Shirley Riffle, <br>sriffle@bism.org, 410-737-2645<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Nfbnet-members-list mailing list<br>Nfbnet-members-list@nfbnet.org<br>List archives: <http://www.nfbnet.org/pipermail/nfbnet-members-list_nfbnet.org><br>To unsubscribe from Nfbnet-members-list:<br>goto http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbnet-members-list_nfbnet.org/mjc59%40comcast.net<br></font></body></html>
