Subject: DIAL-JAN Availability & Request
To Friends down the line:
The DIAL-JAN BB has been back in operation for almost
two months now and their call volume is very low. I may have
sent you this earlier and if so, please excuse my forgetfulness.
I would like to ask that you cross-post this, again if you have
done so previously, to any disability-related bulletin board to
which you have access. If you have other channels, please
pass this information on in those directions, too. If you have or
know of a Web site where this would get visibility, please ask
the owner to add the notice below to their resources or a
prominently visible place for the next few days.
My concern is that with DIAL-JAN being off-line from February to
September, people will not know they are back in operation. It
would be very easy for a bean counter to say, "You don't have
enough call volume to justify the expense" and they might remove
their funding for this resource. Being toll free, this may be the only
disability contact for many people. Thanks for your help, Jim
