> Hello everyone,
> 
> We are racing headlong into national convention season, and I wanted to
> reach out to you in order to give you an update on tours that are being
> offered during the convention. Tours aren't always offered, but we have had
> substantial requests to offer a couple of tours, and we added one more
> because we wanted to. I had hoped to have every price nailed down by now,
> but a couple of the venues we plan to visit haven't finished determining
> what they want to charge us. So, as you'll see when you read the brief
> article I am linking to, we are accepting pre-orders for tour seats. The
> article and the form it links to will share additional information. So, I
> won't repeat all that here.
> 
> I will say that we plan three tours to Space Center Houston, a tour to the
> Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS), and one very contentious baseball
> game. That is to say; we hope to take a group to see the July 7 game
> between the Houston Astros and the Seattle Mariners. So, if you want to go,
> be sure to stay until July 8 because the game doesn't begin until July 7,
> at 7:10 pm. These two teams have been known to have long, drawn-out
> battles. So, you might even have to stay until the 9th. It'll be fun. I
> promise. Please, plan to join us for one or more of these tours and share
> the information with your members as well. Here is the link.

> You should also know that we have been able to reprise Southern Strums.
> Back in the day, our Texas Association of Blind Students raised some funds
> by hosting an acoustic concert that included talent from around the
> Federation. This year, for one year only, we are playing host to that
> tradition, and the $10 cover will support our Harley Fetterman Memorial
> Scholarship Fund. Harley was a dynamic young man who died from cancer when
> he was only 18, but he had a huge impact on our affiliate. Therefore, we
> have named a scholarship after him and consider our entire program to be a
> tribute to who he was. Join us on July 5 for a great time for a great
> cause. You'll find specific information in convention promotional
> materials, and I think it may even be listed in the agenda. Members of our
> affiliate will be able to provide information during the convention. You
> are all welcome, and again, share.
> 
> We are getting so excited about seeing everyone. Please, don't miss out on
> all the fun by staying at home.

> See you in Houston!
