> Dear Heamchand Subryan, I can share this information with my chapter members, but first I need more information.  I know that my members will ask some questions.  Can you please send me another email with more information.  Is this an in person event or virtual?  If in person, what is the address?  If virtual, please send the log in and call in information.  In your email, you say it is next Friday, which is September 11.  What time does it begin?  How long is it expected to be?  Do people need to register?  If so, can they call the phone number on your email or is there an email they can use to register.  Regards, Chris Minkler, president National Federation of the Blind Buffalo Chapter.

> My name is Heamchand Subryan and I'm a researcher at the University at Buffalo, Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access. I'm reaching out to you with the hopes that you could help with recruitment for a focus group being carried out next week Friday. We're looking for individuals who have a visual impairment and use wayfinding apps like google maps. Would you be able to send out a notice to the members of the NFB Buffalo chapter? We need a total of five individuals and have recruited 3 already, so we're just looking for 2 more. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
