[blindkid] Fwd: Opportunity for Blind and Low Vision Musicians: Enchanted Hills Camp

Fri May 29 14:09:08 UTC 2015

Just an FYI about Braille Beats:  The camp had a minor setback and will not
be operating this summer.  Brunhilde, the camp organizer, is wonderful and
responds to email quickly.  She said the camps would return next summer, so
keep it in mind for next year.
