Zoom has been a lifesaver for students and parents who need to connect with teachers and colleagues.  Zoom enables users to sign in using a desktop, laptop, smartphone app, or even their landline telephone.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the participating vendors also have a disability, or have a close association with someone who does.  Vendors are required to make the shopping experience as easy and as frictionless as possible, so they provide multiple ways for attendees to place orders.  There are 18 participating vendors, offering everything from artisan crafted jewelry to fashion, food, gadgets and gizmos, pet and guide dog products, personalized gifts, beauty and skin care, home fragrance and decor, craft kits, leather goods, and technology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With so many people reluctant to shop in busy malls and crowded public spaces, the Let&#8217;s Go Shopping event is a fun way to do a mall crawl from the comfort of your couch,&#8221; says Legendary.  &#8220;Just sit back, relax, and shop till you drop.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Laura Legendary is owner of Elegant Insights Braille Creations, a distinctive, handcrafted collection of jewelry and accessories, made in the USA, and embossed in braille.
