<p>Greetings!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>When I followed the "breakfast" link below, I didn't find any
breakfast things. It said</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>scoreboardwoburn.com has expired</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>and below was a link to "renew now." The same happened with the
lunch link. Does anybody know what gives?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

DeFazio, join us at this year\u2019s convention. He is a

little bit of context: he received his Masters in
Architecture from Rice University two years ago, and

is interested in creating a program for other blind folks
who want to become designers. He says, \u201cI think that blind
students can challenge the way architecture is taught and
practiced in ways that benefit the design professions\u2014making
them less vision-centric, generating our own ways of
designing, engaging with buildings in new ways, etc.\u201d <o:p></o:p></span></p>

reaching out to NFB Massachusetts because I want this
program to be shaped not only by educational institutions,
but by blind leadership, blind community, and blind ways of
doing things. I think that piece is essential. Alongside
architecture and design skills, I hope the program can help
students build confidence, mentorship, community, and a
stronger sense that these fields belong to them too,\u201d states
