Hi guys,<br>I was asked to pass this information along. At state convention, a pharmaceutical company will be doing a focus group with people who may be experiencing blindness-related sleep problems. If you want to participate, they will buy you lunch, as I understand it. The attached file is in fact a Word file that is registration/RSVP for the group. If you want to participate, fill out the form and return to <a href="mailto:nyabs.board@gmail.com">nyabs.board@gmail.com</a>. Again, blindness-related sleep issues. Open to ages 18+ up to 75 or something like that. <br>

Hi Mindy,<br>
<br>
I hope you're doing well! We are excited to see you in NY in just a few weeks!<br>
<br>
We are still trying to figure out who our speaker will be. In the meantime, we have drafted a letter/invite for you to send to your members in order to generate participants for our focus group. We thought this would be a good way for folks to RSVP to you and keep track of attendees.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you can send this out and if you get any responders. We are asking folks to RSVP by October 12.<br>
<br>
Let me know if this is helpful.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
<br>
Cristina<br>
