Matt:
Have you accessed the convention agenda yet? It is jam-packed with all the workshops available at the convention. There may be a session or two on Tuesday, which is usually slated for professionals in the blindness field and educators. Also, you may want to see what the Performing Arts Division is all about; division day is Thursday. Our National Organization of Parents of Blind Children and our Blind Parents may be something to check out.

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.
