Greetings!

We wish to announce the launch of NFB Live, a  voice chat site hosted by the National Federation of the Blind of New York.  Our grand opening will be on Saturday August 30.  The day's activities as of now include games, door prizes, and a series of special guests and venders.  The day will start at 2:00 PM Eastern with Carl Jacobsen, from the NFB of New York introducing two distinguished guest speakers, Mister Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind, and Doctor Marc Maurer, former president.  Throughout the day, we will have a series of presentations by several speakers and venders.  At present, we are proud to have Art Schreiber who will discuss his experiences as one of two American reporters who travelled with the Beatles during their 1964 american tour, and James Gashel who will discuss the KNFB Reader for iPhones, . We are happy to also have Dan Parker, blind motorcycle driver, who will tell us about his adventures driving in the Bonneville Salt Flats.

We will also have J.J. Meddaugh from the A T Guys and James Boehm from Kustomcane, discussing their products.
