Ron:

Will definitely give this a try when I get the chance.

Am getting ready to head out to the RV for the week-end, so it may be a
little while till I get back to this on the home computer which is where the
problem seems to be.

Hi Tom,

Once I logged in, I didn't have any problem.  Move to the edit field with
the hot key (e) type in your query, and press enter.  After a few seconds,
press escape or (insert + space bar NVDA) to exit forms mode if it doesn't
automatically, then move past the list of 9 items and the graphics and you
should see the information.  In fact, the line just above the results has
the word donate in it, so you could probably do a screen reader find on
donate and then just arrow down a few lines for the information.  The on
mouse over/clickable link for the e-mail does work by routing mouse to
application cursor and clicking in both JAWS and NVDA.  I didn't try it in
Window-Eyes--because I'm still learning that beast after downloading the
office for Window- Eyes package. HTH.
