Voices to Access Volunteer Project
Saturday, February 20, 10:15 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Location: National
Museum of American History
14th
Street & Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
Metro: Federal
Triangle or Smithsonian Metro (Blue & Orange lines)
The
Voices to Access Project provides cassette recordings of the Smithsonian magazine
and other printed materials to more than 800 people monthly who are
visually impaired. YB members volunteer in the packaging and mailing
process, allowing the Smithsonian to offer the recordings free to
those who need it. It is a wonderful way to give back to the Smithsonian
while meeting other YB members in a small group setting. The group
may go to lunch afterwards.
Since the American History Museum has now re-opened, you many now enter the museum through the Main Entrance. If you arrive before the Museum opens, please check in through the Staff Entrance in the parking tunnel. The new location is by the gift shop on the first floor, which is straight back from the Constitution Avenue entrance of the American History Museum. (Please note that there are two gift shops and we meet at the larger one on the first floor.)
