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.
