Denny:
I agree with Donna to have Rita at our convention. But first I want caution
you before you ask her is that the Illinois Council of the Blind may have their
convention the same weekend as ours. I know that is what happened last year.
I know that because I have friends that belong to the Illinois Council of the
Blind. But it wouldn't hurt to ask.

>Hello,
>My name is Rita Howells.
>Since I retired from State Services with the Illinois Bureau of Blind
>services, I have begun to work with several blind adults in learning how to
>use their devices with Voice Over. In the past 18 months, I have trained 10
>blind adults.
>I currently use:
>an Apple iPhone 5, an iPhone 4 that is now used as an iPod, and an iPad II.
>I have worked with the Apple Store at the St. Louis Galleria for two years
>now in terms of us "learning together" how to use Voice Over on iOS devices.
>In addition: I feel proud to have contributed to sending on accessibility
>issues that we have found with Voice Over and Apple apps, which have gone to
>the Accessibility Team in Apple's headquarters in Cupertino California.
>I was recently asked to present at a "Communicating in a digital age"
>workshop at Second Sense in Chicago Illinois: regarding my use of Apple iOS
>devices with Voice Over.
>I would be willing to offer my services in training blind adults who are
>interested in learning how to use iOS devices.
>Apple devices running iOS and Voice Over are truly a life changing technology
>that have had a significant impact for people with visual disabilities.
>I have been developing a "set up list" and curriculum for training with Voice
>Over, and I can use these tools to assist blind persons in their desired
>goals in how to use their iOS devices.
>I would be willing to schedule to meet at a mutually convenient location,
>within the St. Louis Metropolitan area. I live in Madison County Illinois
>(which is about a 20 minute drive away from the St. Louis Arch) and we could
>work out transportation arrangements in order for me to provide the training
>at a location that is doable for me in regards to "the transportation hustle".
>I will schedule the training sessions, on a "first come, first served" basis
>and the session should last about 1 and one half hours, for each training
>session.

>All the best,
