Hi Folks,

To answer Monica?s question I have reserved the beer garden for Saturday,
June 15 at 1 PM! And currently have nine folks that have RSVP?d. Please
make sure to let me know if you are interested in joining us!

This is also a great time to invite potential new members as well, so
please make sure to invite folks who might not be as familiar with our
chapter to join us.

Looking forward to seeing folks there.

the listserv. They asked if there were any questions or comments. None were
raised,

A motion was made and carried to approve the Secretary's report.

 

Treasurer's Report given by Sara Hadsell, Treasurer

Reported bank balance is $1231.60. The Venmo balance is $0.

Sarah stated that BMO does not require monthly transfer to waive bank fee,
so no longer need to keep Venmo balance. 

Expenses not yet incurred: $100 for NFBCA donations. Several attempts have
been made to send the money, but the transaction has failed. Sarah is
waiting for further instructions from affiliate.

A motion was made and carried to approve the Treasurer's report.  

Tim Elder made a comment that the Treasurer's Report does not need to be
approved by the chapter body. 

FYI: Annual dues are $10 and are payable in January. If anyone wants to pay
dues and are using PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle, please use this information to
pay:
Sara Hadsell, 510-387-0766,  <mailto:SaraAHadsell at gmail.com>
SaraAHadsell at gmail.com.
The address for payment of checks is 585 9th St, Oakland, CA 94607. If
paying by PayPal, you must do it on a computer, which is where you can
select that you are paying a friend, rather than purchasing an item. The
PayPal phone app is set up for commercial purchases.

Treasurer Sarah checked on outstanding payments, and saw that donation to
NFBCA may have been made twice. Discussion will continue next month when all
transactions can be verified.

Hi Folks,

To answer Monica?s question I have reserved the beer garden for Saturday, June 15 at 1 PM! And currently have nine folks that have RSVP?d. Please make sure to let me know if you are interested in joining us!

This is also a great time to invite potential new members as well, so please make sure to invite folks who might not be as familiar with our chapter to join us.

Looking forward to seeing folks there.

Hi Folks,

To answer Monica?s question I have reserved the beer garden for Saturday, June 15 at 1 PM! And currently have nine folks that have RSVP?d. Please make sure to let me know if you are interested in joining us!

This is also a great time to invite potential new members as well, so please make sure to invite folks who might not be as familiar with our chapter to join us.

Looking forward to seeing folks there.

Good afternoon, Chapter Members,


This is your final opportunity to RSVP for Saturday?s event. Below is the
current list of attendees. Please ensure your name is on it. This gathering
is a wonderful chance for those who are new to our chapter or haven?t
attended in a while to join us for some informal time with the community.
These social gatherings and the time we spend together are just as
important as the business we conduct as a chapter.


Don't forget to bring your walking shoes. Depending on the weather and

Note that the SF Lighthouse seminar on June 26 is the first of a total of 5
seminars the SF Lighthouse will be holding all focusing on how AI tools can
be used to assist persons with visual disabilities to access all forms of
written materials and cause such materials to come to life.  It is expected
that highlights of the seminars will be demonstration of specific use cases
involving the use of AI tools to gain random meaningful access to a wide
variety of materials such as books, articles, pictures you take or are sent
to you, websites, screen shots, all of which might be captured by a user or
captured by someone else who sends the material to the user via email, text,
file sharing, etc.  We are experiencing a tipping point in gaining
meaningful access to materials which up to now was accessible in forms that
did not provide as meaningful access as the new AI tools offer.  For
example, imagine asking a picture of a menu at a restaurant to make a
recommendation based on your desire to have protein and vegetables, but want
to avoid red meat, and have the picture respond to you by randomly accessing
the material and formulating a meaningful response.  Ask the menu how much
an Ice Tea is and it will tell you.  Then imagine taking a picture of the
restaurant receipt  for a group of diners and asking it to tell you what
your share of the total is if you had the poke bowl and an ice tea,
including your share of any service charges, taxes and adding an 18%
gratuity.  The receipt will provide you step by step mathematics leading to
its conclusion, or just tell you the amount which is your share of the bill.
This seminar series is not to be missed live or via virtual Zoom session,
but if you do miss it, you will be able to tap into the content on the SF
Lighthouse You Tube channel once the live /virtual  presentation video is
edited.

I believe there is some confusion here. The LightHouse for the Blind in San Francisco is not offering this webinar rather it is the LightHouse in Seattle. Now, if the LightHouse in San Francisco is also going to be holding similar webinars that would be a great thing. I think we need to clarify what is happening here. Thank you

that highlights of the seminars will be demonstration of specific use cases
involving the use of AI tools to gain random meaningful access to a wide
variety of materials such as books, articles, pictures you take or are sent
to you, websites, screen shots, all of which might be captured by a user or
captured by someone else who sends the material to the user via email, text,
file sharing, etc.  We are experiencing a tipping point in gaining
meaningful access to materials which up to now was accessible in forms that
did not provide as meaningful access as the new AI tools offer.  For
example, imagine asking a picture of a menu at a restaurant to make a
recommendation based on your desire to have protein and vegetables, but want
to avoid red meat, and have the picture respond to you by randomly accessing
the material and formulating a meaningful response.  Ask the menu how much
an Ice Tea is and it will tell you.  Then imagine taking a picture of the
restaurant receipt  for a group of diners and asking it to tell you what
your share of the total is if you had the poke bowl and an ice tea,
including your share of any service charges, taxes and adding an 18%
gratuity.  The receipt will provide you step by step mathematics leading to
its conclusion, or just tell you the amount which is your share of the bill.
This seminar series is not to be missed live or via virtual Zoom session,
but if you do miss it, you will be able to tap into the content on the SF
Lighthouse You Tube channel once the live /virtual  presentation video is
edited.

Community:

So sorry for any confusion.  My message presumed, incorrectly, that it was the SF Lighthouse holding the below mentioned AI Seminar.  Apparently, it is the Seattle Lighthouse holding the event and beyond the circulated note, I know nothing of the Seattle event.  

As it just happens, the SF Lighthouse also will be holding a series of 5 seminars deeply diving into the topics associated with using AI tools to better enable persons with visual disabilities to access written materials along the lines of my prior message.   Look for an announcement from the SF Lighthouse in the future for the dates and times of the SF Lighthouse seminars which are expected to be in person, virtually streamed, and recorded for post presentation viewing. 

I wish the Seattle Lighthouse all the best in holding its seminar on June 26 and for continuing to enhance the lives of persons with visual disabilities. 


All the best.
