[Ohio-talk] NFB-NEWSLINE needs your help at NFB 2016

[richard]

Greetings Fellow Federationists:

 

The 76th Annual Convention of the National Federation of the Blind is almost
here! Before everyone's schedule is entirely packed, I wanted to write to
you to ask for your assistance. The NFB-NEWSLINER team will be hosting a
demonstration room and a table in the Exhibit Hall once again this year.
Both of these activities will require a number of volunteers and we would
greatly appreciate any time that you could offer to help with our convention
activities.  

 

Our demonstration room will be available for walk-in traffic for five hours
on:

 

Friday July 1, 2016 from 1:00 - 6:00 PM, and 
Saturday July 2, 2016 from 1:00 - 6:00 PM

 

This demonstration room is intended to answer questions, distribute
materials, demonstrate access methods, resolve subscriber issues, and sign
up new subscribers. There will be several workstations set up in the room.  

 

Our tables in the Exhibit Hall will need to be staffed for a total of twenty
hours starting on the following schedule:

 

July 1, 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM 

July 2, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM 

July 3, Noon - 1:45 PM; 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM 

July 4, Noon - 1:45 PM

 

We will be looking to fill these times in two hour increments and we are
looking for support from our members who are familiar with the NFB-NEWSLINER
service.  

 

Please respond and let us know via e-mail (talbee at nfb.org), or by calling
(410) 659-9314, extension 2354,  if you will be able to volunteer during
convention. If you already have activities scheduled during the times listed
above, please let us know that as well so we can work around your
availability.  

 

Thank you in advance for your time and for your volunteer work.

 

Best regards,

 

Scott White

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
