Convention coverage continues on ACB Radio

Hello,

We've passed the midpoint of our convention coverage, but there's stil
plenty to hear.

Today on ACB Radio Mainstream, we will be covering the Wednesday general
session. The broadcast is set to begin at 12:15 Universal, that's 8:15 am
US Eastern time. The meeting will be called to order at 8:30 Eastern, and
the first half-hour or so will consist of formalities, announcements and ACB
business. From 9 we will hear from the executive director of the National
Association of Parents of Children with Visual Impairments, then we will
turn to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Entertainment is then the order
of the day, with the major focus being on books. We'll hear from the
National Library Service and The Library of Congress, and then after the
break, at 10:45 we'll hear from talking book narrator Mitzi Friedlander.
Next is a presentation on digital television, specifically on The Digital TV
Converter Box Program. Finally will be a presentation by Mike Calvo of
Serotek about the Accessibility Is A Right Foundation.

If you are unable to hear our session broadcast live, you can catch one of
the repeats which begin at 17 hours Universal (1 pm Eastern) and run till
tomorrow's broadcast begins.

We will also have continuing coverage from the exhibit hall on ACB Radio
Interactive from 15 Universal (11 am Eastern), including the somewhat
mysterious sounding Spin the Dolphin contest. Tune into the coverage for
more info on that one.

And don't forget that Dog Club Radio from Guide Dog Users Inc continues this
evening at 23 hours Universal (7 pm Eastern) on ACB Radio World
(http://www.acbradio.org/world).

We hope you are enjoying our coverage and we look forward to bringing you
today's coverage and having you with us on ACB Radio, the voice of the blind
community.
