Fred,
I'm not sure what happened last night except that nothing happened.  I 
called in at 8 PM and got a recorded message saying when the 'host' called 
in the meeting would start.  Until then we were treated to elevator music. 
Since I presumed I was the host, I should know what to do and I didn't.

I certainly apologize to the attendees and am requesting help in knowing 
what to do.  I would also like to have the meeting next Tuesday at 8 PM.

Thanks,
Rick Holley

I will also follow up on the emails titled Inquiry today or tomorrow.

Hi Rick,

The fault is mine. I had planned to be on the call but was delayed. I called
in around 8:30 and realized as I did that I had not told you how to initiate
the call. I apologize for the mix-up and will get out a notice about holding
the call next Tuesday. I will be in Montana so won't be on the call. 

To initiate the call you dial the regular dialing number and access code.
The only difference is that you add a zero to the end of the access code
number. Instead of entering 868549 you enter 8685490.

Sorry for leaving everyone in the lurch.

FKS

Fred,
Thanks for the insight and help.  I'll be on my toes next Tuesday. And, I 
will go down the White Cane purchsers list  and call them unless they live 
in one of the    major cities where I know they have a chapter.

Thanks again,
Rick

We are all at a crossroads with health care, individually and as a country.
Do you have any of the below questions about Healthcare:
What is the affordable health care act for Virginia?
How will the health care reform affect a person with disabilities?
What are the goals of the Virginia Insurance consumer Assistance Program and how can it help me?  How can it help my spouse,  son or daughter?
How do I qualify for Medicare or Medicaid insurance and/or benefits??
How long must I be unable to work to qualify for Medicare or Medicaid?
What are my health care options?
What is the difference between Medicare and Medicaid?
What type of benefits can I receive?
If my medical condition gets worse can I receive more benefits?
Can I work and receive benefits at the same time?
If you have any of the above questions or others that are not on the list, you will want to come to the next meeting of the Fairfax Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of Virginia.

At that meeting, we will have  a guest speaker from the Virginia Insurance Consumer Assistant Program VICAP who will be providing a lot of valuable information on Medicare and other health plans, programs, and services that are available; as well as   answer any questions you may have.

The Virginia Insurance Counseling & Assistance Program (VICAP) is a health insurance counseling program administered by the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging.  VICAP assists senior citizens and persons with disabilities that need help understanding Medicare, Medicare health plans, Medicare supplemental insurance plans and prescription assistance plans, including Medicare Part D.
Program counselors are volunteers who have received special training on health insurance issues and have been certified by the Virginia Department for the Aging and the State Corporation Commission's Bureau of Insurance.  They are not connected with any insurance company and their services are entirely free.  Their purpose is to serve you objectively and confidentially.

Come to the Fairfax Chapter meeting and get the answers and information  you need right away.
Our chapter meeting is scheduled for  Thursday, April 19 and it will be held at the Oakton High School 2900 Sutton Road, Vienna Virginia, room 109  at 7 PM.    It is a short walking distance from the Vienna metro or you can take a bus.

Come to this highly informative meeting and obtain the answers and information  we need to get the benefits we have earned.

The restaurant is open from 12 Noon to 11 PM on the 21st.  Everyone is invited to come on the 21st, enjoy a meal, dessert, and/or libation, and bring the attached flyer with you when you come.  Just by coming and presenting this flyer to the server when you come on the 21st, the NFB Tidewater Chapter will receive 20% of your entire bill!  What could be easier than that!  The attached file includes two copies of the flyer.  All you need to do is print the flyer, and cut it in half.  Give the other flyer to a friend or family member.  Everyone is encouraged to print as many of the flyers out and give to all of your friends and family.  The more people come and present the flyer, the more money we will raise to support the activities of the Federation! 
>  
> The Tidewater Chapter will host two opportunities for everyone to come and get together as a Federation family.  We plan to have lunch @ 1 PM and dinner at 7:30 PM.  Please respond either by email or phone at 757-622-2797 and let us know if you are coming so that we can save a place for you at the table.  Keep in mind that you do not have to come at those times, and if you wish to bring a large group with you, the more the merrier.  This Applebee?s is located near the Janaf and Military Circle Shopping Centers in Norfolk.  It is on several bus lines (#15, 20, & 23).  Of course, it is accessible by Handi-ride.  We plan to have future gatherings at other Applebee?s throughout South Hampton Roads in the coming months.

	Fellowship Program)
Message-ID: <6DF48430-F478-47ED-B53C-DC297A2E3207@gmail.com>

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND OF VIRGINIA
2012 MCDONALD FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

Every summer, over 3,000 blind and visually-impaired people gather for a week-long convention to discuss the policies, programs, and priorities of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB). An exhibit hall features a wide array of assistive technology products, and professionals who are empoyed or are interested in various careers will meet in division meetings (teachers, journalists, rehabilitation profesionals, students, office professionals and more).

Because so many of us have greatly benefited from these conventions and because this annual event changes the lives of blind people for the better, we would like you to be there. Many of us not only learn from experiences at national conventions about how the problems of vision loss can be overcome, but we also experience the confidence that can come when blindness is reduced to a minor physical nuisance 

If you are a resident of Virginia and have never been to a convention before, the National Federation of the Blind of Virginia (NFBV) invites you to apply for its annual McDonald Fellowship Program.

Program Dates and Location
This year, we will celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the NFB in Dallas, Texas from July XX to July XX. The convention will be even better because you were there to attend. 

About the Program
The McDonald Fellowship program was established in 1998 in order to:

a) assist those who have never attended a convention of the Federation before, or
b) financially assist those who have demonstrated a commitment to our organization and who are unable to afford the costs of attending a national convention. 

Robert and Marian McDonald selflessly contributed to our Virginia affiliate to further the progress and better the lives of those who are blind, visually impaired, and low vision in Virginia. In their honor, we recognize the personal benefits that come to people who attend a national convention for the first time. In their memory, the NFBV continues their legacy of education and empowerment to Virginia's blind residents. 

Program Goal
This year, the goal of the McDonald Fellowship program is to issue three McDonald Fellowship awards each in the amount of $750. These funds will be awarded to assist each fellowship recipient in covering the cost of attending our 2012 NFB National Convention.

We will connect each of our fellowship finalists with mentors who will assist them in getting the most out of their national convention experience. Preference will be given to McDonald Fellowship applicants who have not previously attended a national convention. 

Expectations of Finalists
As part of the Fellowship application requirements, McDonald Fellowship finalists are expected to attend the entire NFB convention, meet with their assigned mentor each day, write an article about their experiences for the Vigilant (the semi-annual newsletter produced by the NFBV) upon their return from convention, speak about their experiences at the NFBV state convention this fall, and?most importantly?become even more involved in the efforts of the NFBV .

Deadline
The deadline to apply for fellowships this year is Tuesday, May 8, 2012. Finalists will be announced by May 17, 2012.

Application Process
We ask that applicants write a brief letter of application outlining their reasons why they should be considered for a Fellowship. Preference will be given to applications from: 

* those who have never attended an NFB National Convention before;
* those who have demonstrated commitment to the NFBV organization by their participation in either chapter or state activities over the past year;
* and by those applicants who include pertinent supporting information that will help in our selection process (e.g. letters of support from an NFBV chapter president). 

Applicants are strongly encouraged to include a letter of support from their local NFBV chapter president, but these letters are not required.

Please copy and paste the below form into an e-mail and send to corbbo at gmail.com with ?McDonald Fellowship Application? in the subject line. Letters of recommendation may be sent by the applicant or the author of the letter.

Questions and Submission Information
Please direct all questions to Corbb O?Connor, McDonald Fellowship Committee Chairman, via e-mail to corbbo at gmail.com or via phone to (202) 684-6130.

We are all at a crossroads with health care, individually and as a country.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Medicare, Medicaid and  the various Plans?

Should I be concerned with the proposed legislation?

How will the health care reform affect a person with disabilities?

What are the goals of the Virginia Insurance consumer Assistance Program and how can it help me?

If you are concerned about your healthcare benefits, and what is available, what are your options then you need to come to The Fairfax Chapter Meeting of the NFB  on Thursday April 19 at 7 PM.  The location is: Oakton High School 2900 Sutton Road, Vienna Virginia, room 109  at 7 PM.    It is a short walking distance from the Vienna metro or you can take a bus.

There will be a   lot of valuable information on Medicare and other health plans, programs, and services that are available; as well as   answer any questions you may have.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Many of you are already aware of the most recent news involving our
colleague, Rich Sorey. The attached memorandum tells of more changes
happening for Rich. I thought that all of you would probably want to
share in Rich's good news.

Subject: Host family needed for BVI student coming from Ghana

Hi Nikki - I got your name from a good friend, Shannon Cole.  I am a volunteer and placement specialist for Youth For Understanding - a non-profit organization that brings over international high school students to study in the U.S. for a year.  One component of the program includes bringing scholarship winners over from primarily Muslim countries (students may or may not be practicing Muslims).  Some students may also have a disability.  All students have a proficiency in English.  And they all need a host family to provide a home for the year.

This year we have a young man coming from Ghana.  Isaac, blind since birth, is a scholarship winner and has attended an academic boys boarding school in his home country.  We are seeking a host family for him and wanted to reach out to the visually impaired community in the hopes of finding a family who might have experience and a comfort level in having a student who is blind in their home.  The schools in our area are traditionally enthusiastic about having the international exchange students with them for the year.  Isaac will be arriving this summer (August) and will stay for the 2012-13 school year.  The primary responsibility of a host family is to provide a caring home, three meals a day, and a bed.  Students are responsible for all extra expenses.

I am attaching a basic profile of Isaac and his letter to his future host family. The scanned copy is not easy to see but it is just a small glimpse of this impressive young man. His full application, pictures, etc. would be available to a family once they have expressed an interest in hosting.  There is a host family application which includes a background check, but is easy to complete online. 

My family has hosted a young man from Norway this year for the first time.  It has been an amazing experience for all of us.  If I can provide any more information about the program, please let me know.  Here is a link too that can provide more details on our program:  http://yfuusa.org/international-students/youth-exchange-study-yes.php


Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.  I appreciate your time!

Sincerely,

Jennifer Scovill

Fellow Federationist,

As some of you may already know, I have accepted a job in Philadelphia and
will be moving out of the Virginia area. I will be moving to NE Philadelphia
during the week of May 14, 2012. Please consider this to be my sincere
goodbye (for now) to each and every one of you. 

I want you all to know that I'm leaving here with mixed feeling; happy about
my new career opportunity, but sad I'm leaving such a great state and so
many friends. The NFB of Virginia has been great to me and I'm proud to have
been part of such an amazing organization. I've learned so much from Dr
Schroeder and many other leaders in Virginia, I hope I can use this
knowledge to be an active member of the NFB in Philadelphia. 

I've made so many great friends during my years as a member in Virginia; I
hope many of you stay in contact with me. My cell phone and email will stay
the same: (757) 472-2494, brnmccnn at gmail.com. Once I know the exact address
of my new apartment, I will forward it to those that wish to have it. 

My best wishes for the future go out to each and every one of you. I'm sure
I will see many of you at future NFB events.

Yours Sincerely,

Brian McCann
