[stylist] Monthly Telephone Gathering- speaker canceled

[Judith Bron]

I've been begging anyone who would listen for ages as to how one accesses 
and takes advantage of social networking sites.  I just recently accessed 
Linkedton and am trying to figure out how to work it to the best of my 
ability.  How come I never heard of NFB  Access Technology Trainers 
Division?  No, I don't access the NFB site once a day or even once a month. 
Why didn't anyone leading a list such as this where writers are always 
looking for outlets for  their material think we could use technical 
information that would allow us to access the sites sighted authors have 
access to?  Judith
