Dear Colleagues and Friends:



Per our conversations with National Science Foundation and others, we are
officially offering another opportunity for 10 more participants to come to
Tucson and learn to be a scientist in summer of 2020!   I?ve attached the
flyer with the readiness academy dates of May 31 ? June 6, 2020.   Note
that we are extending the invitation to children and youth nationally
(thanks to your input) and will offer a travel stipend of $500 to anyone

Message-ID: <A58F8F38-A8CB-44FA-B282-BDFC4B277714@gmail.com>

?Hi everyone,

First, I wanted to sincerely thank everybody who contributed to my delicious gift basket of candy! My surgery went very well and I appreciate that you were thinking of me. I am sorry that I?m not able to join you this month due to the seminar but I look forward to being back with the chapter in March.

In fact, several of us are not at tonight?s meeting because we are at the Washington DC seminar. That is Jim, Anna, ?ukasz and me. We look forward to sharing all that we are doing this week with you next month.

I wanted to remind everybody that we will be having elections next month for the positions of president, first vice president and second vice president. In March those positions will be elected for two-year terms.

There will be more information about how to submit your name to the nominating committee coming in emails. Amy will also talk a bit about elections tonight. Please remember, that even if you are not selected by the nominating committee that you may run from the floor.

Cheers, 

Christina

Hello Everyone,

I'm Anna Wroblewska, blind sociologist, focused on disability studies. I'm
also NFB SF chapter member and had a pleasure to meet some of you during
chapter meetings.

I carry out my dissertation research on the ways of supporting independent
and active living within blind community in San Francisco. I would like to
share an information of participants recruitment to my research. The
National Federation of the Blind is not involved in this study but I
believe it may be interesting for some of you or your friends.

RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENT

My name is Anna Wroblewska. I?m a PhD candidate at Jagiellonian University
in Poland and affiliated at University of San Francisco. I?m being
supported by Dr. Emily Nusbaum. Professor Shabnam Koirala-Azad at
University of San Francisco is my supervisor. I am conducting a study on
biographical experiences of the blind and low vision who use services
provided by the Lighthouse in San Francisco. I?m looking for participants
to interview which will be recorded. Research findings will be used to
support designing of high quality training programs for the blind in Poland
and the United States.

To be eligible, the participant must be at least 18 years old, live in the
Bay Area and have an experience of taking part in one of the services
provided by the Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San
Francisco listed below:
a. Changing Vision, Changing Life,
b. Employment Immersion,
c. Summer camp at Enchanted Hills Camp.

The participants will be interviewed personally, during one or two sessions
if necessary. Each session will take about 3 hours. Interviews will be
conducted at a place convenient to each participant, such as at home,  or
in a mutually-selected community location. If you are willing to be
involved in this important research, please email me at
anna.wroblewska89 at gmail.com.

Thank you for your help!

hello NFB SF friends,

One last shout out for braille storytime in case you missed it. We are volunteering on tuesday March 31st 630-8pm in Oakland reading books in braille, singing songs, and answering questions from kids 0-8yrs about blindness. 
You don?t need to read braille to help out. If you are able to meet a little before the NFB meeting in March to solidify our plans that would be a good idea... 

If you are interested or have questions please reply to me directly: ginnymurphy at gmail.com. 
I will send out a follow up email to give more details to volunteers.

The show will take place at The Flight Deck, 1540 Broadway, Oakland, CA ? only two short blocks from the 19th Street BART station.
>> 
>> The Afterlife is a love story of two teenagers ? Chuy, who dies by violence, and Crystal, who dies by suicide ? who meet in the afterlife, a place between the living and the dead. Their encounter reveals what gets lost when a teen dies. Renowned author Gary Soto has created a powerful theatrical experience that opens doors for healing and exploration.

>> SFYT has performed this play for dozens of high school and college audiences around the world, and teenagers resonate strongly with the message and intent of the show. At a time when teen depression is at its highest level ever, The Afterlife reminds teen audiences of their value in the world and the impact their actions have on others, now and in the future. We want to reach as many teens as possible! Stay for the cast talkback after the performance to continue the dialogue.

Thank you so much for doing this. I really look forward to this day. A few questions:

Is Miss Nelson is missing an age appropriate book to read? That's roughly a first or second grade level book. Do you know the ages of the children we will be reading to? 

I should have a copy of the book if we read it.

Pedro the  octopus, I don't know what age level that book is. Does someone own a copy? 

  I'm going to be rustling through all of the braille books we own in our house this weekend since I'm reading to my little ones '  classes on Monday for Dr. Seuss's birthday.

One book that I really like that spans a wider age range is The Day The Crayons Quit. If I can find that copy I can bring it to the chapter meeting. Anyways?


Is the library in walking distance of the Fruitvale BART station? Can we meet up at a time and go there as a group?

Finally ... whew, I ask a lot of questions ...

I have several slate and maybe a couple of styli that I can bring with me for the day. Will we be brailling names on alphabet cards? Or index cards that we need to bring? I like the idea of writing a name or a secret message On a print braille alphabet card so the kids can decode their name or the message.

I'll be back in the states Saturday afternoon and can be reached at 510-2892on a print braille alphabet card so the kids can decode their name or the message.

I'll be back in the states Saturday afternoon and can be reached at 510-289-2577.

Best, 
Lisamaria

I have a print version of the book the day the crayons quit and it is an
excellent book with great pictures for kiddos. I was definitely thinking
about it when this topic came up but it is not specifically blindness
related. Still I think it?s an excellent choice if we are looking for a
book. LM do you have it in Braille.

I also have a book called ?ginger ?that came from Guide Dogs For The Blind
and it also has an audio CD with it. It is a book about a boy and his dog
guide And discuss his job, etiquette etc.

Subject: Re: [NFBSF] Braille Story time Planning

I have a print version of the book the day the crayons quit and it is an excellent book with great pictures for kiddos. I was definitely thinking about it when this topic came up but it is not specifically blindness related. Still I think it?s an excellent choice if we are looking for a book. LM do you have it in Braille.

I also have a book called ?ginger ?that came from Guide Dogs For The Blind and it also has an audio CD with it. It is a book about a boy and his dog guide And discuss his job, etiquette etc.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that I actually will not be able to make storytime after all. My commute to the library from the Southbay would be 2 1/2 hours. Which is crazy! But I will miss you guys, and I hope everything goes well.

Jordyn

I was definitely thinking about it when this topic came up but it is not specifically blindness related. Still I think it?s an excellent choice if we are looking for a book. LM do you have it in Braille.
