Blind people of the World,
	Once again this year we are sending you this greeting from the Henry B. 
Gonzalez Convention 
Center in  San Antonio Texas.  We of the Greater San Antonio Chapter of the 
National Federation of the 
Blind of Texas are again participating in the 1997 South Texas Internet 
Odyssey.  This year we have greatly 
expanded our participation in this event. For the first time the Internet 
Odyssey Expo is including an 
Adaptive Technology Pavilion which is showcasing adaptive hardware and 
software used by persons with 
various types of disabilities, including blind persons.  Our chapter is one 
of four exhibitors displaying this 
technology.  This year we are demonstrating just about every type of access 
technology for the blind.
	In addition to this we are working closely with the Web Page Lab, another 
show attraction where 
people can learn how to design their own World Wide Web Page, and all workers 
received instruction in 
how to make these web pages blind friendly.  We will be working on other 
computer and Internet Access 
issues in the coming year.
	We of the Greater San Antonio Chapter of the National Federation of the 
Blind of Texas want to 
encourage blind people everywhere to reach out and do what you can to ensure 
the continued computer and 
Internet access we currently enjoy, and to work to enhance that access in the 
years to come.
Yours truly,
James Sofka
President, Greater San Antonio Chapter
National Federation of the Blind of Texas
