I know that some of you have had this demonstration in your chapter meetings, but I would like to extend the invitation to those who were not able to do it for a chapter meeting, or who were not able to attend. I think it will be very interesting. The demonstration will take place in the Ohio zoom room this upcoming Wednesday, January 24, at 6:30 PM. I hope many of you will be able to join and find out how we can all learn about and participate in this rare event. Before the date, I will send out the zoom information, but I wanted you to put this on your calendars now.</div><div><br></div><div>Everybody have a great weekend and I hope you will join us on the 24th! </div><div><div dir="ltr">Annette Lutz<div>President</div><div>Capital Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio</div><div>614-288-4323</div><div>President.capital.nfboh@gmail.com</div><div><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday we raise the expectations of blind people because we know that 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></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>Begin forwarded message:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><b>From:</b> ARISA Lab Outreach <outreach@arisalab.org><br><b>Date:</b> November 16, 2023 at 2:23:49 PM EST<br><b>To:</b> rchpay7@gmail.com, n8tnv52@outlook.com, president.capital.nfboh@gmail.com, grobinson513@icloud.com, President.NFB.ClevelandOhio@gmail.com, cherylfischer05@icloud.com, kalegg0220@gmail.com, Babyruth2@windstream.net, Dr.Carolyn.Peters@gmail.com, dgventure915@gmail.com, spopplestone.nfb@gmail.com<br><b>Subject:</b> <b>Eclipse Soundscapes Demo</b><br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"><span style="background-color:transparent;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">Dear Ohio NFB Chapters, </span><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default"><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;color:rgb(136,136,136)"><span id="m_-13122229418151698gmail-docs-internal-guid-b2a337ae-7fff-a473-2dea-834fd00d95bf"><br></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline">We're writing to offer your National Federation of the Blind (NFB) chapters a free 5-10 minute demo of the</span><a href="https://eclipsesoundscapes.org/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration-line:none"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline"> </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline">Eclipse Soundscapes Project</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline"> via virtual meeting.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;color:rgb(136,136,136)"><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline">The Eclipse Soundscapes Project is a NASA Citizen Science Project that will study how eclipses affect life on Earth. Through a partnership with NFB, Eclipse Soundscapes was created with accessibility in mind and a special focus on the inclusion of people who are blind or low vision. It is our goal to create a project that invites members of the sighted, blind, and low vision communities to participate alongside one another.
