DAMNED GOOD DADDIES! A Program hosted by DEI AND Greater Alexandria Chapter

 

Hello NFB World!

I have a secret! 

Wanna know what it is?  Ha, ha!

Can't tell you! 

Ok!  Ok!  I'll tell!

The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee and the Greater Alexandria
Chapter are crashing heads once again, and you know what happens when those
two heads crash together. FANTABULOUSLY FUN THINGS HAPPEN!

And this one is right up there with the rest of 'em, let me tell you!
Ready?

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

BLAM! 

It is a night we are calling, "DAMNED GOOD DADDIES - The Art of Blind
Parenting, DADDY STYLE! 

That's right!  In honor of our DADDIES during this Father's Day month of
June, and in the same fashion as our KICKASS SPICY MAMA event, we wanted to
give our DADDIES the stage! 

Here's what you need to know:

WHEN:       Wednesday, June 19, 2024

                    7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

WHERE:    On Zoom!  We will provide the link as we get closer to the date.

WHO:         EVERYONE!  

We have a star-studded lineup (to us, anyway!) of deliciously,
kind-of-sensational, fun-and-witty-and-smart-and cute-as-a-button, real-life
DADDIES who are ready, willing and able to share their deepest and darkest
secrets about being DADDIES! 

Hey!  If you have questions you might want to ask our panel of expert
DADDIES, please audio record yourself asking that question and send it to
me, Renee Valdez, reneerome at yahoo.com <mailto:reneerome at yahoo.com> .

We will play your question for our COOL DADDIES and have them answer it
live!

SO!  Even though this is a BIG SECRET, please share it with EVERYONE YOU
KNOW!  Let's shut down ZOOM on the 19th of June!

See you there!

Hello!

 

I am writing today to let you know that we are offering two verbal
description tours this summer centered around the new tactile installation
of President Lincon's face mask and hand casts.

 

Located in the "America's Presidents" exhibition, the tactile installation
consists of a free-standing display with 3D-printed reproductions of the
casts, which date from 1917 and are located nearby in a glass-enclosed case.
The casts are based on molds that were made during Lincoln's lifetime: one
face mask was made in 1860, and the other mask and a set of two hands were
made in 1865. In addition to the tactile, we will also explore, through
verbal descriptions and storytelling, other nearby portraits of Abraham
Lincoln: a recently acquired life size oil painting of Lincoln by W.F.K.
Travers, and the iconic "cracked plate" photograph by Alexander Gardner.

 

Tour dates are June 27 at 5-6 pm, and July 13 at 1-2 pm. Please select one
date, as the same tour will be repeated. Registration is required by
emailing me at jonesve at si.edu <mailto:jonesve at si.edu>  or replying to this
email. Space will be limited in order to ensure a positive experience for
everyone, so sign up soon to attend this lively and and participatory tour
experience! 

 

Please share this email with others who might be interested.

 

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

 

All the best,

Vanessa
