The NFB Newsline of Indiana team is offering a grant incentive opportunity to assist members and nonmembers to attend our 2019 state convention, being held at the Ramada Plaza Hotel in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on the weekend of October 25-27. Room rates this year are $89 per night plus tax and the banquet is $40.00. The grant incentive opportunity is to offset some of the expenses inccurred for rooms and the banquet cost. We want to share the NFB Indiana experience with individuals who are curious and want to learn more about the National Federation of the Blind.

Affiliate members can apply your discount for yourself, or to assist a non-member to attend. The grant incentive opportunity ends Monday, October 21, 2019 at midnight. How does one participate in this effort? Sign up to eight new subscribers to the Indiana NFB Newsline service and receive $10.00 per sign-up, equivalent to $80 per participating member. Indicate which category you want your $10.00 to be applied. You can designate all $80.00 to a non-member, or split it between you and them. Participating members will be notified prior to convention after cutoff date, (Monday, October 21, 2019), as where to receive your banquet ticket.

If your chosen category is nonmember and you have individuals whom you
would like to be given consideration for the accrued funds, please let us
know, disbursement contingent upon when the order and name is was received, until funds
for the nonmember category is depleted.

we will be investing in replacement telephone server equipment. This new hardware is expected to be installed during the week of June 17th. During that time, there will be some configuration and testing time required in order to work out any unexpected issues. If
there are any planned outages for the phone service, we will make announcements to alert subscribers about the time and duration.

The Mueller report which has been made available through some news outlets nationwide, is now on NFB-NEWSLINE for all subscribers. The Mueller report is a dense and lengthy document with numerous redactions and footnotes. Due to the length and format of the document, we would like our subscribers to be aware of a few items pertaining to the report.

There are two volumes to the report; volume one, which is 199 pages, and volume two which is 182 pages and four appendices. The volumes were transcribed to best match the original format and therefor includes extensive footnotes and redactions. The footnotes are in the same order you would find in the original text flow. Redactions are under three categories:

1. Harm to ongoing matter, abbreviated as HOM or H.O.M.
2. Grand Jury
3. Personal Privacy, abbreviated as P.P.

If there are typos in the transcription, these are due to the text extraction process and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our best was done to correct some mistakes generated during this process, however some may remain due to the extensive amount of original material.

To access the report via phone, select option five from the main menu, and then press five again for National Meetings of Interest to the print disabled, then select the volume you wish to read. To access the report via web or app, please select publications, publication options, publication groups and then National Meetings of Interest to the print disabled.
