Hi all I hope this e-mail finds you all well. I am writing to give you an update on what's happening with VICS and to let you know of the events that you can look forward to over the coming months. The date for renewing your membership To VICS has been extended to Friday the 2nd of March so, I would encourage those of you who have not already paid to do so over the next week. Subscription rates for this year are once again ?10 for waged, and ?5 for non-waged or students. Subscriptions can be paid directly in cash, by bank transfer, cheque, or postal order. You can also pay online via the VICS website. Cheques or postal orders along with your name and contact details shouldbe sent to the below address. Note it is very important to include your name and contact details, otherwise we will have no way of knowing who the paymentis from. Ciaran Ferry, 5 Foxhill Grove, Baldoyle, Dublin 13 Any queries should be directed to Ciaran Ferry by e-mail treasurer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx As you may now be aware, The VICS website is currently under construction and, thanks to the hard work of the web committee, most of the re-structuring of the website has now taken place. The website will be accessible, easy to navigate and provide VICS members with a useful resource of information with regard to VICS and its upcoming events and technology, to include, useful links, articles, tutorials and podcasts. We are looking for tutorials/articles/useful information from our members. If you feel you would have something to contribute, either in audio or text, you are more than welcome to contact the committee. We envisage that, the website will be the focal point of VICS and, therefore, the more input we have from our members, the better the website will become. It will continue to be a work in progress and will be constantly updated with new content. It will be a very useful resource for VICS members. On the 21st of April, VICS in collaboration with NCBI will hold a screen reader/magnification information day where attendees will be able to find outabout the different software available. More information will follow shortly.There will be another VICS training day in May. It will be coming down south to Kerry this time. The date and venue are to be confirmed. This is an excellent opportunity for VICS members to learn more about technology such as Internet and e-mail, Microsoft applications, mobile Phones and Apple products. It is also a nice way to meet other VICS members. The training days have proven to be very popular with people learning from each other. VICS recently turned 25 years and to mark the occasion, we will hold an informal get together in Dublin. This will coincide with the VICS AGM in June. We are in the process of finalizing plans for this event. When I have more information, I will let the list know. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please feel free to discuss it on the list or, you can contact members of the committee directly. I will write again soon with a further update. Kind regards to all Joan Ann Brosnan Chairperson. =========================================================== The vicsireland mailing list To unsubscribe at any time send a mail to: vicsireland-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwith the word "unsubscribe", without the quotes in the subject of the message.To contact the moderator send mail to: tim.j.culhane@xxxxxxxxx For mor information on the Visually Impaired Computer Society visit: http://www.vicsireland.org
