Title: Hank Bloomberg chapter of the Pennsylvania Council of the Blind, and of the American Council of the Blind.
Got in contact with Ed Tate from Louigi's. He just got back from vacation and has been looking at Duffy's Bar in Boalsburg for their next expansion. He's been busy! Sundays and Thursdays would be better for them. If on Saturday, another location such as Best Western or the Citizen's Center would be best with Louigi's catering. They have so many events scheduled on Saturdays such as wedding parties and such.

We are now so close to Whitecane day, would it be better to hold off until October, perhaps during the last week, which would also be the week after the convention? That would give us a chance to try to advertise more, give people a better idea of what we are doing since we could give a report of what happened at the convention. I know that would set us up for the week just before Halloween, but then maybe that would appeal more to the public since everyone would be wearing blindfolds. If we could do it on Thursday or Friday the 27th or 28th, that might be better? I didn't bring this up when we talked, so I don't know how that would fit with his schedule, but I think we ought to consider it.

Need some feedback very soon.

Blaine

Disability Sensitivity and Awareness Training for you, your employees or your group is available in the Clearfield and Jefferson counties area.
Learn how to relate with your visually disabled customers, friends and family.
Computer use training for the visually impaired is also available.
We are accepting used computers and occasionally have low or no cost computers fully accessible for vision impaired users when available. A no cost Operating System with a free accessible screen reader and screen magnification is also available for installation on most desktop computers and some laptops if you already own a computer or receive one from a friend or relative and need accessible help. You'll only need to purchase a CD and perhaps find some help for installing the software. Improve your quality of life, be able to socialize with others, find new friends, learn new skills, and you may be able to find good employment too.
Screen readers don't just help the vision impaired, they also help with many types of learning disabilities where the added reinforcement of hearing and visually reading at the same time aids in understanding printed material.
