[Ohio-Talk] Senior meeting Sunday evening

Mon Oct 4 00:02:57 UTC 2021

Richard,

I'm sorry if I have made you think I/we are trying to sell something. We are not wanting to demonstrate a product. As I said previously, you do what you do for the benefit of those blind. What we are doing is just what you are fighting for. If you want to hear about this, I believe it is in your best interest to hear what we are doing that no other is considering. We have designed what will be the first insulin pump for diabetics who may be blind, deaf, dyslexic and/or having motor issues with their hands. I'll not go into the points regarding diabetes but I am sure you know the numbers. If not, the website may be a tool to have you see what your hard work is producing. Toot your horns, there are people listening to the cries for accessibility. I/we simply wish to let those members of your Organization know what we are doing and nothing more. This is not a sales pitch nor anything remotely close but again, to allow the chance for you to hear about this and that your work in which you fight for accessibility is actually being heard and we want nothing more than to let your members know. If this is going to be as difficult as this is appearing, understand that other Organizations for the blind looked at our site and immediately asked for a conference meeting with their members of which we were too happy to talk to them and about what we are doing. We would like to convey the offer to talk to you and your members also. 

I'll say no more and if interested, my contact information on the website. Otherwise, I've made my pitch to have you aware of works in progress. 

Thank you,

Rick

Dear Mr. Mladek,

Your web page has this item listed at least this is what the link takes you to and if you wish to introduce a product visit www.nfbohio.org and www.nfb.org to find a way to have a chance to demonstrate the product.

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.

I do not understand your response. We are not after any services. You fight to get accessibility and inclusivity for those blind, read the website and you will hopefully understand that this is simply a request to be part of a meeting, to introduce to as many of your people who may want to hear of all we are doing. This is not something I believe has been insinuated needing your services but simply, your ears and time to hear of what we are doing and of which I believe many of your members may find this worthy of their time. Thanks nevertheless.

We don't have the funds for professional services, and we are too small a group for such a job.

>>> This is a reminder of the seniors’ meeting tomorrow evening. This is our quarterly meeting. We will be making decisions about our meeting at convention. If you try using our familiar old phone number, you will be told that we have a new number. It looks to me as if the old meeting number will work this last time. It also looks to me as if the access code is still the same. Here is the new number 267-807-9601, access code 240281423.
