New PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY group forms to meet needs of people with
vision impairments.
(Woodbridge,Va) -An organization dedicated to the blind and those with
low vision is re-organizing. The new Prince William Chapter of the
National Federation of the Blind will hold its first meeting on
January 28, 2010.
Among the highlights of the meeting will be a presentation from a
representative of the NFB-NEWSLINE. He will be focusing on how to
easily access all the features built into NFB-NEWSLINE by simply
pressing the phone buttons. New subscribers will also be able to sign
up for the NFB-NEWSLINE at that time.
Many people who have vision loss often miss being able to read the
newspaper independently. NFB-NEWSLINE is an over-the-phone free
service which makes available over 300 national and local newspapers
to Virginians. It enables them to continue reading periodicals
whenever and wherever they want. All that is needed to start
receiving NFB-NEWSLINE is a subscription and a telephone. The call is
local.
The meeting will be held in the board room of the Potomac and
Rappahannock Transportation Commission, located at 14700 Potomac Mills
Road, Woodbridge, 22192. Everyone is welcome! We promise information
and fellowship.
Light refreshments will be served.
If you are unable to attend but wish to be informed about future
events and programs, please contact Jody Silverberg at 703-730-1716.
The National Federation of the Blind is a non-profit self- help
organization consisting of over 50,000 members and 700 chapters
throughout the 50 states. The NFB was organized by the blind to help
the blind achieve security, opportunity, and equality via education
and advocacy.
