> Hi everyone,
> As always, our virtual Braille study group meets Saturday, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM Eastern. This is a chance to talk about the practical uses of Braille, review contractions, discuss reading techniques and find some motivation and support for your Braille learning journey. It will happen every week as long as we're remote. 
> On Monday, we'll have a Zoom training at 2 PM Eastern to address any lingering questions you have about participating on Zoom by phone, app or computer.
> Also on Monday, at 3:30 Eastern, we'll have open time for questions about technology, remote learning resources, and digital library resources. 
> Planes, Canes and Trains will be back the week of the 20th: we're taking a pause to investigate video streaming issues affecting our sighted participants.  As Mona Minkara says, stay tuned!
> Please register at: tinyurl.com/HeiskellRegister for any or all of these events.
> Since some folks have let me know that the Google Form registration process has given them trouble, I'm going to provide the Zoom invitation details at the end of this message as a backup. This info will work for all three events. Please do not share them on the open web, including your social networks. However, it's perfectly fine to forward them to friends and colleagues. 
> If you attempt to register and do not receive an email with the Zoom details within two hours of your event's start time, please email me to let me know. We're trying to get to the bottom of why many people register with ease while others are having problems. Thanks for your kindness as we work this through.
> Remember: one-on-one tech coaching is still available by appointment. Our team of staff, interns and volunteers is happy to book individual time with you to work towards your technology goals. We conducted over 150 hours of coaching in June, and are so happy to empower and strengthen this community even as our physical location remains closed.
