Subject: [Nfbnet-members-list] NFB Travel & Tourism 2nd Annual Fundraiser Trip October 6-10, 2014




Good morning Fellow Federationists:

Since the NFB Travel & Tourism Division did so well with our first fundraiser trip during "Meet the Blind Month" October 2013, we thought we would try it again.

We are going to Music City, USA - NASHVILLE

When: October 6-10, 2014

This is 5 day/4 night trip to Music City USA, Nashville, Tennessee 

This is a Monday through Friday, so if you are worried this will interfere with your state convention. Since your state convention ends on a Sunday you can fly into Nashville afterwards, or fly to your state convention on Friday.

Anyone can join us, blind or not, invite your friends and family. If you need a bus with wheelchair accessibility, we need to know this as well.

Deposit is $75 per person, once deposits are met we can do payment plans, final date for deposits is May 15, 2014, and final due date for all payments is July 15, 2014.

What is included in the price of the trip:

Belle Meade's illustrious past has spanned from its prosperity as a Thoroughbred breeding establishment, to its perilous location at the Civil War's Battle of Nashville, to its current restoration as a historically accurate Victorian home. A visit to Belle Meade also provides an important insight into the struggles of African Americans before the Civil War. Next, you'll have an opportunity to explore Historic Downtown Nashville. This evening, enjoy Dinner and a Show at the fabulous NASHVILLE NIGHTLIFE DINNER THEATER. 

Day 4: Enjoy a Continental Breakfast, before departing for the GRAND OLE OPRY BACKSTAGE TOUR.

Walk in the footsteps of country music's superstars and get an exclusive look at what happens behind the scenes of the show that made country music famous! This afternoon, you'll head to the COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME. This is a state of the art cultural landmark and an architectural crown jewel of the Nashville skyline. Be amazed by its incredible array of rare costumes, instruments and historical mementos. This evening, enjoy an exclusive Diamond Tours Dinner Party with Entertainment.

Day 5: Today, after enjoying a Continental Breakfast, you depart for home. A perfect time to chat with your friends about all the fun things you've done, the great sights you've seen. Trip ends at 3PM at Nashville International Airport, make sure all that are flying into and out of Nashville that you arrange for you flights for about 6PM.
