Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Dear everyone, I know this is off topic but want to let those who attended the Oregon school for the blind who might be interested to get this message and those who can would you mind getting this to those people. Sincerely Bower The First OSB Conference On June 6th 2012 Hi Everyone, Come On In! You Are All Welcome! We are very excited about this first OSB Conference which will take place on June 6th 2012 on the Conversation Station phone system. You might want to do a trial run before the exact time of the conference. If you just call the number: and follow the prompts, you should not have any problem. Don't be surprised if you hear music if you are the only one in the room. <smile> I have given the line owner 24 songs to put into the room. These songs have been lovingly given to me by some of you, and will only play when there is one person in the room. We have many tallented OSB Alumni! My thanks goes out to everyone who has helpped make this possible. Here are all the details below. What? The first OSB Conference this conference is for absolutely anyone who has attended The Oregon State School For The Blind, in Salem, Oregon, at any time during it's existence. This includes all OSB Alumni Students, staff members, volunteers, and all day students, and summer school students, as well. When? June 6th 2012 at 9 PM Eastern, 8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, and 6 PM Pacific time zones. Where? The Conversation Station: 616-8832999 Room 6200 How? Just call: . When you hear the train whistle, press the pound button. Then press pound again. Press the number one for Live chat rooms. Then Press the numbers 6200 and pound to enter the OSB conference room. Please say your name before entering the room when prompted. Why? This OSB Conference has been created because we no longer have the loving OSB Campus, and We want to give everyone a chance to stay in touch and to chat with others. This conference room is not just a one time thing. It's going to be there for as long as The Conversation Station system is here. It's for you, my fellow Loving OSB friends and Staff. Everyone will be given the opportunity to talk. Most of the time when someone is talking, the entire room will be muted. This is because we expect a good crowd, and if everyone talks at once,no one will hear the person who is talking, they just would hear everyone talking at once. <smile> The important command you need to know is the Mute command. This is a toggle command, Star one mutes your phone, and Star One also un-mutes your phone. The person who will be asked to speak, will be asked to un-mute his or her phone with the star one buttons so that they can be heard by everyone. If you need to leave the conference at any time, you may do so by just hanging up your phone. You will hear a sound when someone joins the conference, and another different sound when someone leaves the conference. There will be time during the conference for everyone to just chat. I do have several moderators who will bbe helping me, if necessary, and who will be in the room at the time of the conference. They are Cecily Ballenger, ette Stokes, Canady, and myself. I do have an adjenda, and we plan to do some fun and important things. We realize not everyone has unlimited long distance, so the first part of our conference will be organized. We will hear a recording from Carl Belnap, The OSB Alumni Association President. we will hear tidbits of music from many of you talented ones. If you have any questions or comments,please feel free to contact me at any time. I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow night on the conference in room 6200. Thank you very much.
