I"m not sure how I got on the mailing list for this event, but man, I wish I could go. It sounds very cool. Since many readers are interested in topics concerning low vision/blindness etc. I thought perhaps someone would be interested. If you go, you HAVE to let me know about it.
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
If you have any questions about this event please contact the Metropolitan Museum of Art not CCVIP. Please pass this on.
Thank you for your support.
