Ger, An interesting point came up: We were discussing the question of reaching out to the broader community of people with a visual impairment. It was mentioned that there are self-help groups all around the country in small numbers but genuinely trying to provide each other with information and problem-solving discussions. VICS would like to reach out to all of these and provide answers, demonstrations or simply a friendly voice to add to the supports they provide to their members. Any query - no matter how basic - will be very welcome and given the utmost attention by VICS members. VICS would also be delighted to travel to meet any group anywhere. As PRO, my contact details below may be circulated freely and I look forward to hearing from people. They do not have to be members of VICS - this is an effort to reach out to everyone who is trying to use technology in a non-visual way. All the best, Cearbhall O'meadhra PRO VICS Ireland M: 0833323487 T: (01) 2864623 em: cearbhall.omeadhra@xxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: GERARD SHANAHAN [mailto:gershan@xxxxxx] Sent: 27 April 2014 19:34 To: Cearbhall O'Meadhra Subject: Re: egm Hi Cearbhal, Glad to hear that there was a positive outcome. I'll be thinking about what I can contribute. Did people have any ideas about other streams of people that might be approached whom might log onto the website or attracted to the idea of becoming members to acquire info from the mailing list?
