Hello All!



The NFBDaytona Beach Team worked diligently from Sunrise Saturday March 1st 
thru Sunset Monday March 3rd engaging the community in several effective 
efforts to promote “Read Across America” using the Dr. Seuss Happy Birthday 
celebration theme emphasizing Braille literacy with classics being read like 
Green Eggs and Ham, Cat in the Hat, Hop on Pop and One Fish Two Fish Red 
Fish Blue Fish, that were read to both the sighted and blind  community, in 
churches, schools, along with the combined workshops provided by the world 
renown artist Horst Mueller of Hamburg Germany, who teaches young blind 
children around the world the tactile technique of expression through the 
unique form of art using the inspirational message that “Even Hands Can 
 See.” This proactive method of engaging young blind members of society into 
believing in themselves, that they can do it too.



We had a special demonstration of Braille reading and tactile art workshops 
in Daytona Beach held at both the DBS Rehab Center and the Center for the 
Visually Impaired.  It was an awesome experience, very enriching and lots of 
fun.  We also held a community Dr. Seuss Happy Birthday Party at Buffington’s 
where over 60 people from throughout the community gathered to celebrate the 
“Read Across America” event.  We had a great time.



Truly Grateful,


Peter Cerullo
