Here is a letter that I came across from the St. Louis Society for the
Blind.  It sounds like fun and the price is right.


Hello Everyone,****

** **

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

The Gateway Arch*. *

*“A Night at The Arch”* will be held on *Saturday, May 18, 2013, from 6:00pm

*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
