>Dear members of the blind community:

>Last year, as many of you know, the ACB, AFB and CCB reached an 
>agreement with Walmart under which the company agreed to replace 
>their flat screen point of sale devices with units that have tactile 
>keys.  The agreement provides that once a year Walmart will meet with 
>representatives of the three organizations to discuss the tactile 
>keypad roll-out  as well as any other issues in Walmart stores of 
>concern to the blind community.
>
>We are preparing for this year's meeting, and are asking for feedback 
>about your shopping experiences at Walmart -- both good, bad  and in 
>between.  Please send comments to Lainey Feingold and Linda Dardarian 
>at mailto:lfeingold at earthlink.net  or leave a message at 800.332.6177
>
>We continue to work with other major retailers on installing tactile 
>keypad point of sale devices so that blind shoppers can enter their 
>PIN and other private information without having to disclose it to a 
>store clerk.  If you have questions about our efforts to date, or 
>concerns about a particular company, you can contact us at the email 
>and phone listed above.

>Thanks,
