[Nfbwv-talk] Demo Day Event in Flatwoods

Sun Apr 10 01:23:23 UTC 2016

Ed has so far been unsuccessful in his efforts to take advantage 
of I Can Connect.  He filled out the application form and 
submitted it to a representative at the Perkins School for the 
Blind who turned out to be no longer associated with the program.  
It was not immediately clear where the application should be sent 
and so, thus far, he has had no further contact with the program.  
Any help would be appreciated.
Karen

We can think about this.  What does everyone else think?

Mike, did Barb pursue this after hearing about it at our state 
convention?  I can't remember if the two of you were there that 
year.  I remember posting it on this list afterwards as well.  I 
still have the information if anyone wants or needs it.

 Sherry,

 Barb has applied and been approved for some equipment to help 
her
 communicate long distances as she has lost some much of her 
hearing.
 Rachel Gill is working with her.  Seems to be a good program.  
Any blind
 person with hearing loss in WV needs to be made aware of this 
program.
