[NFBF-L] FW: [NFB-Conventions] World War II museum tour

Thu Jun 26 23:21:13 UTC 2025

Good Afternoon,

   I hope you are doing well.  My apologies for bothering you. Matt Weihmuller, here from Tampa, FL.  I am a saxophonist who performs and teaches music at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts.  This sounds like a great opportunity.  May I ask when you all are planning on attending the Museum?  I would love to join you if my schedule permits. I am also attending the NFB Convention for the first time in a while and would welcome the opportunity to reconnect with any of my fellow NFB of Florida members who may be attending as well.  I am also looking for any suggestions for things to attend.  I strive to continue to further the cause of braille music literacy.  Unfortunately, I am only able to attend the convention, Tuesday, through Friday, as I have to return to Tampa to teach my weekend music classes.  Thank you so very much for your time. I really appreciate it.  Take care and have a great day.

Matt

Hello all. To me, this sounds very interesting. Anyone interested in getting a group together for this tour? I removed the greater than signs so it's easier to read.

  obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life 
  you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
