[Nfbf-l] Newsline® spreading the word in central Florida

[Sherri]

I wrote the message more as informational, but I appreciate the kind words. 
I also wrote it because we all need to put aside differences and work to 
make the NFBF the best affiliate possible, since we are hosting 4 
conventions. I believe in honest discussions about NFB philosophy and even 
disagreement, but not personal attacks. Let's get on about the business of 
changing what it means to be blind in Florida! That is the only way we as 
members of the NFB can truly show we embrace the cause.

Thank you again Sherrill and Kathy for your kind words.

Sherri

Hello list friends,

I am writing to report the latest exciting NFBF Newsline ® happenings. We
are still #1 in subscribers with the help of our Talking Books libraries
throughout Florida signing up over 200 new members per week. This of course
means followup with welcome letters and phone calls to make sure our users
are using the program. I am very thankful for the librarians and all their
help and enthusiastic support of the Newsline ®service.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, Kirk Harmon and I will be
attending a meeting of the senior Triad organization. This is a national
conference being held in Orlando. The Triad is a service group of police and
sheriff's departments throughout the United States who assist seniors in
making their lives easier by among other things supporting a cell phone
redistribution service so that seniors have access to cell phones for
emergency services. They also support other efforts for seniors throughout
the country. Kirk Harmon has been a member of the local Triad for several
years and joined to help spread the word about Newsline®. I am very grateful
to him for giving me the lead about this conference and for making the
necessary contacts to assure our participation so that we can acquaint
others with the Newsline ®service and I also appreciate his help at the
exhibit table this week.

If any of you are not currently using Newsline ®and would like to know your
ID numbers and password to get into the service, or if you have any other
questions,please do not hesitate to contact me. My information is below my
name on this e-mail as well as links to learn more about Newsline®.

I will keep all of you informed as to up-coming exciting developments in
Newsline®.
