[Nfbmo] Fw: A Night at the Arch

[Susan Ford]

Chris, Debbie Wunder and others working with MOBELL

That ought to be an ideal opportunity to fine children for the BELL program. 
Finding kids is harder than other parts of the BELL program, or at oleast it 
was last year in Idaho, so take advantage of this way to contact parents of 
children who need BELL.

Hi all,

I just got this from Angie Yorke at the Lighthouse and thought some of you 
in the St. Louis area might be interested.

Good Afternoon,



We want to let you know of an exciting free event for people with visual 
impairments and their friends and family.  The National Parks Department and 
St. Louis Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired are partnering to 
present a special evening of hands-on, tactile and auditory experiences of 
The Gateway Arch.



“A Night at The Arch” will be held on Saturday, May 18, 2013, from 6:00pm to 
9:00pm at the world famous Arch.  It is a private event for children and 
adults who are visually impaired and their families and friends.



Guests will enjoy a free night at the Arch and Museum of Westward Expansion 
including tram rides to the top of the Arch, hands-on activities throughout 
the museum, family and friends photos, and the movies “Monument to the 
 Dream” and “Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West”,  available in DVS 
(descriptive video).  All activities are free, including parking.



Please help us get the word out about this special evening by passing along 
or posting the attached flyer. We are also glad to send you printed or 
braille copies of this flyer so that you can pass them along to your 
students, families and others who might enjoy this special evening! This 
event is open to any child or adult who is blind or visually impaired and 
their family and friends.



We are also in need of volunteers to assist us in serving as human guides to 
assist those with visual impairments from the parking garage, public 
transportation drop offs to the Arch and indoors between exhibits and 
activities.  We have other needs, including a photo booth, and helping to 
distribute a light snack to guests.



If interested in volunteering please contact Lucy McCalpin at 314-301-7367 
or lucymc at slsbvi.org.



To request printed or braille flyers please contact Karen Spencer at her 
direct number, 314-301-7308 or e-mail kspencer at slsbvi.org



Information on the event can also be found at our website, www.slsbvi.org



We hope you can join us for this special evening,

David Ekin

President

St. Louis Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired
