<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for sharing. I look forward to looking at your material as time and ambition permit.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was the one who ducked out early on the call. I try to get to bed early (so as to get up at a reasonably early time the next day.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mostly, I write science fiction short stories with some poetry, non-fiction, and book reviews thrown in.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have not self published, thus I didn't have a lot to say in the meeting. I've been published in Slate and Style, Magnets and Ladders, Bewildering Stories and have had a couple of poems in Breath and Shadow.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>

<div class="yiv1292677764MsoNormal">Hello all.</div>
<div class="yiv1292677764MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv1292677764MsoNormal">My name is Christopher Sabine, and I am Secretary of the Cincinnati Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio and currently serve as chair of our new committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Ohio Affiliate. I’m
also a member of the Writers Division but haven’t been able to attend meetings much. I’m hoping I can make it to this one tonight at 8:00 P.M.</div>
<div class="yiv1292677764MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv1292677764MsoNormal">I wanted to share my business blog, <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://onhconsulting.com/section/6/adult-perspectives">
Adult Perspectives</a>, which discusses my life with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia and issues facing families of children with this condition. To access the link with a screen reader such as JAWS or NDVA, just focus on “Adult Perspective” and press enter as if you
were navigating a web page. Your screen reader should announce the link as usual.
</div>
<div class="yiv1292677764MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv1292677764MsoNormal">I also have several writings on my site which I’d love your feedback on:
<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://onhconsulting.com/article/445/wheres-fair">Where’s Fair</a>, <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://onhconsulting.com/article/444/theory-of-santa">
Theory of Santa</a>, <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://onhconsulting.com/article/443/a-quest-to-connect">
A Quest to Connect</a>, and <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://onhconsulting.com/article/442/in-memory-of-karen-carpenter">
In Memory of Karen Carpenter</a>. This final poem is written to give a sense of what a child with Autistic Characteristics experiences when fixated on an area of interest, which in kids with our form of Blindness is often related to music.</div>
<div class="yiv1292677764MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv1292677764MsoNormal">I look forward to being a more active part of the Writers Division and hope to see you later this evening.</div>
<div class="yiv1292677764MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv1292677764MsoNormal">Very Best,</div>
