<p>Please read the message in the body of this email and make others aware of this opportunity.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Hello Richard and Dr. Peters,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share some exciting news regarding Aira and the Toledo Zoo.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Taylor Czaja, the Inclusion Coordinator from the Toledo Zoo, copied here, has helped spearhead the effort to make the Toledo Zoo an Aira Access Location. As part of this partnership, they are offering Aira services free of charge to all visitors at the zoo.
Their main goal is to ensure that the zoo experience is accessible to everyone.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I thought it would be beneficial to connect all of us to help raise awareness about this valuable resource within the Ohio community. If you think it's appropriate, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this news with the members of NFB Ohio.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thank you in advance for your help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
