Hello FELlow FEderationists andlisters,
The whole point in our sending the message to all of the NFB's lists is to
make as many FEderationists aware of what one local chapter is doing to
enhance, and protect our computer and Internet ACCEss.  If you remember
from our greeting from last year, and the subsiquent article that
appeared in the July BRAille monmitor we suggested that this is a project
that any of our local chapters, state affiliates, and even NFB Divisions
could carry out in their home areas.  BLind people from all occupations
use the Internet in some fashion, and it is important enough a concern to
warrent spreading the word far and wide.  SO Now rather than flaim one
local chapter that carries out a project that in as far as we know has yet
to be replicated elsewhare let's look for similar events around the
country and get involved with them as well.  AND that also goes for you
folks on blindlaw.  THERE is no reason why we couldn't have several of our
chapters and/or state affiliates participating in shows such as the
Internet Odyssey in the future.
