Everyone is invited next Thursday, March 4, to participate in a combined
on-line and telephone conference to discuss how we all use the KnfbReader
Mobile. A number of persons have wanted a forum to learn from other users
“How do you do that?”. In response to these many requests we are arranging
for everyone to be able to call in via phone or Skype in on line to
participate.

Never ask a bus driver a yes/no question.
I hopped on the bus with the unsolicited assistance of a person that was sure that the number 10 bus was pulling off right then. The helpful lady Pulled, pushed, and bullied us to the side of the barely moving fixed route bus. The driver slammed on the brakes and opened the doors, as the lady rained blows on the side wall of the public transportation. The driver’s breath caught in his throat as the lady thrust me onto the bus. “Is this the 10?”

Welcome to the 15,30,9 E-Cast. This is our first show of the year and it was fun to make it happen for all of you listeners. Our guest for this show was Angela and Angela. Sorry, that would be Angela Davis and Angela Pratt. The discussion went into a rat hole towards the end, but the show was surely successful. Listen out for the next E-Cast and don’t forget to leave your comments below. We are open and transparent, so if you want to tell Nicole to shut up and stop talking so much or you’d like to tell Georgeo a piece of your mind then feel free. Also by the end of this week we will be in I Tunes for easy subscription. Thanks and enjoy the show.

This article is really a test blog post and a testament to hard work and engineering. I was testing the attachment process for audio files on postings while also trying to get our chapters podcast into I Tunes for mass distribution.
I am proud to say I have accomplished both of those goals and we are awaiting Apple’s approval. Look out for the 15,30,9 E-Cast on a computer near you.
If anyone has not heard the intro you can play it here.

Lets take a glimpse into the past. I can remember me and Georgeo traveling back and forth to the NFB office and Dialog in the Dark when mobility was new to us and the Cumberland Transfer Center was filled with buses and the drop point for a blind person just getting started with cane travel was scary at best. Often times on those cold winter days and hot summers we would be at one end of the center and the para transit bus was at the other, though we were within a short distance from each other, often times a call to dispatch was needed to inform them where we were located. Some of those days we were put down as a no show or we were late because of not having a designated stop for persons with a disability

Members,
It brought me great joy to see all of you in attendance at the January’s Chapter meeting. Didn’t Mr. Kokayi get down with his presentation on how to compete and win?
In CCECNFB tradition we need to give it up for our newest chapter members. A warm welcome to Mr. Lafayette Woods and Elsie Watson from Philadelphia. If you have not paid your 2010 membership dues, please submit them as soon as possible. I must say that the bank account is looking pretty good and we have started ahead of the game to have enough money for our 2010 programming. Thanks for you and your hard work.
