[Nfbf-l] "Read Across America Report"

Bill,
I certainly apologize but once the momentum of this project got into full throttle there was no way to go into the contingency plan of sending a driver up to Clyde Morris BLVD, I appreciate all that you do for the NFB Greater Daytona Beach Chapter and your spirit was certainly missed at this Dr. Seuss Birthday Braille read along celebration. Take care and type back at you soon!

Hi, Peter and list.  

That was a good report on the Read Across America events here.  

I regret we could not work out transportation for me to come to the brunch at 
Buffington's since it was held on Sunday.

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
