Hi Everyone,
If you have a moment around 2 pm Eastern time today, open up your web
browser and go to the URL
<http://www.tcconference.com/lib/?auditorium&nopass_field=1>http://www.tcconference.com/lib/?auditorium&nopass_field=1
(You'll be asked to download an applet. Say yes and the machine will
do
the work.) If you have a microphone connected to your computer you'll
be
able to talk to us via this internet connection.
We are showcasing women throughout our history told through their
stories. The group sponsoring the program is OPAL (described
below). Their audience includes sight-impaired individuals and those
working with this group.
Help us test (yes, we consider this to be a pilot) this new way of
reaching
out to folks across the country.
Judy
