This is an important update regarding NFB-NEWSLINE. Late last week, the 
NFB-NEWSLINE service experienced a disruption on one of our servers 
responsible for managing online services and receiving publication 
files from publishers.

This resulted in an outage affecting the iOS app, NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile, 
Web News on Demand, the Amazon Alexa skill, downloads to portable 
players such as the Victor Reader, and delivery of emails to subscribers.

While most of the service is restored, we are actively working to 
restore service as soon as possible to the Amazon Alexa skill.

Additionally, there are a number of newspapers that still need to be 
brought up to date on the system. To update these publications, it will 
be necessary for us to work closely with the individual publishers of 
the content. We anticipate that we will have all these publications 
updated over the next week.

If you are having any problems with accessing NFB-NEWSLINE, please call 
our customer service line at 866-504-7300 or send an email to 
nfbnewsline at nfb.org 
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=35087&qid=10087423>. You can 
obtain the most up-to-date status of our system recovery by calling 
410-609-7081.

We apologize for any inconvenience this disruption has caused. Thank 
you for your patience.
