[Nfbv-announce] FW: Braille and large print menus

[Fredric Schroeder]

As you will see below, Lynn Lesko contacted her local iHop asking for braille and large print menus. The iHop representative got back with Lynn and said that the braille and large print menus have been ordered. We should all reach out to restaurants we frequent and encourage them to provide braille and large print menus.

Early this morning I received a response (listed below) from iHop's Ms. Kenmerer .  Is it possible, to let our state Federationists know that within only a few days from initial contact, iHop acknowledged and accommodated my husbands suggestion for Braille menus. 

Thank you 

Lynn Lesko,secretary

Peninsula chapter

Hello Ms. Lesko,
I have order braille menus for all of our units. This was something that we should have done a long time ago. 
It will take about three weeks for them to arrive from the printer.
I really appreciate your concerns.
Thank you,
Rosemarie

Ms. Kenmerer,

Thank you so very much for taking the time to respond to my husband's note.
Your action in addressing the needs of your blind and visually imparted customers is very much appreciated.  I am going to forward your response to the  National Federation of the Blind Virginia affiliate state President, Dr. Frederic Schroeder.  The National Federation is a group of over 50,000 members who are blind or visually impaired  advocating for themselves.  For additional information, their website is www.nfb.org.

Sincerely
Lynn Lesko
