On April 29, 1999, MicroLink PCUG presented two personal computer "Doubletalk" speech boards to the North Orange County Regional Occupation Program (ROP) high-tech computer center. The boards are designed to aid persons with visual disabilities to utilize personal computers through voice synthesized reading of screen information. <p> The presentation was made at the North Orange County ROP School Board meeting, and Steve Sterry, President of MicroLink PCUG and Val Moeller, California District 3 Representative and President of the Cabrillo Del Rio subchapter of the International Association of Personnel in Employment Security, a professional organization which provides support, training, and information to state employment security agencies, presented a special award to Yvonne Feehan, North Orange County ROP's Disability Specialist. This award was signed by the Director of the State of California Employment Development Department (EDD) and honored Yvonne for her service to military veterans. Steve is also a Disabled Veterans Outreach Program Specialist with EDD, and Yvonne's efforts and assistance have been instrumental in placing disabled veterans into special training which has led to successful job placement. The speech boards were purchased with the 1998 Jerry Award grant which MicroLink received from the Associaton of PC User Groups.
