Dear Don,
    My name is Arielle Silverman, and I am an intern working with the NFB Department of Affiliate Action. We are currently in need of mentors for the new
NFBLink online mentoring program who have a wide range of talents and expertise. Could you please send the below message to the members of your division
and urge them to become mentors?
    Thanks for your help!

Mentors Needed for New Online Program:

            Blind piano tuners need your help and expertise! The National Federation of the Blind  recently launched NFBLink, a new online program which
matches people seeking information about blindness with knowledgeable NFB mentors. NFBLink will provide blind persons in all walks of life, parents and
teachers of the blind, and others interested in blindness with valuable information, resources, and support.

            In order for NFBLink to be successful and to reach out to as many people as possible, we need to have a strong and diverse base of mentors with
a wide range of talents and expertise. We are especially in need of persons like yourselves who can offer guidance and experience to blind piano tuners.

We would like you to please go to

www.nfblink.org

and sign up to become a mentor. You will be asked a variety of questions that will enable us to better match you with "mentees". After you enroll,

your profile will be saved and you will be notified when a mentoring opportunity becomes available. We are currently building our mentor base, so you may

not receive mentees for the next few weeks.

    We greatly appreciate your willingness to help with NFBLink. As you know from experience, mentoring is one of the primary missions of the NFB. Although

NFBLink is an online program, we hope that it will be just the first step to including mentees in our Federation family and activities. NFBLink will offer

another avenue to teach people the truth about blindness.

    If you have any questions or concerns regarding the sign-up process, please call Rosy Carranza at

410-659-9314, ext. 2283

or email
