[Scholarship-comm] [Kcb-board] Last Call for Tech Grant revisions

[Matt Selm]

Carla:


I'll save attaching the document this time; I'll just send it to you off 
list if you want Patty to review for large print formatting.  If anyone 
wants it, I'll send it along.


Corrections:

Corrected "with in" to "within".

Corrected "waved" to waived".

Removed commas prior to etc...

Removed hyphen in the word standalone.  I don't see where they are 
missing i.e. five-hundred for example.

Inserted lines to provide space for yes/no questions and grant amount.

Corrected "Or visual verification" to "acuity, or visual verification".

Changed "legally blind" to "visually impaired" and "legal blindness" to 
"visual impairment".


As for the webpage, if your going to host a copy of the application 
there, that sounds great to me and I can link to it in the 
announcement.  I would like to get all of the editing done before 
Monday's meeting if possible.

When all the wording is final, I suggest we have Patti format it in large print, adding the check spaces and other lines as needed. I always have her do that for everything I distribute such as registration forms or newsletters, even if it is digital. I will need to mark everything up for the website, and the formatting and mark-up can both happen on Monday night or Tuesday morning after the Board meeting. When I mark up, I can give it one last proofread at the same time and fix those little spelling and punctuation things if you want. I assume you will need the link to the page on the website for your Facebook announcement, plus the file which you will send to people on request. That can all happen Tuesday.

Legal blindness is 20/200; 20/70 is visual impairment. I personally prefer visual impairment, because legal blindness leaves out many of our low vision members, but we just need to be consistent and do one or the other. There is also an incomplete sentence that begins with the word "or" and refers to the Visual Verification form.
