[Nfb-river-city] NFBSF meeting in February

[Nathanael T. Wales]

David,

Thank you for sharing this with us.  At our regular meeting tomorrow at 
10:30 A.M. at the Capitol I will announce this and see who is interested in 
attending.  It's great that we as consumers are providing input to these 
manufacturers directly.

Nathanael T. Wales, President

> (street signs) and the various stages of the pedestrian cycle (Walk, 
> Clearance
> and Don't Walk).  The Navigator offers the same information to the
> pedestrian in alternative formats of audible and vibro-tactile 
> information.
