Dear Tony Whitehead,
WAPA is going to the National Museum of African American History and Culture! This email provides information for helping you plan your participation. If you plan to attend, please register as soon as possible. Admission is free, but spots are limited.
Hope to see you there!
Laurie Krieger
WAPA Program Committee Chair
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
What day will we be going? Sunday, June 2
What time will we be meeting? The museum tour will begin at 2 pm, but we are trying to negotiate an earlier arrival time because we want to eat at the museum's Sweet Home Cafe before our tour. We will update this announcement as more information becomes available.
Do I need to register? YES!!! We have space for 40 people. The number of people who attend must correspond to the passes reserved. We cannot accommodate even 41 people. If you reserve space but find you cannot attend, you must let us know as soon as possible, but no later than noon on Friday, May 31, so we can adjust the number of passes.
Where will we meet? In front of the museum where groups enter. Please be sure to wear comfortable shoes.
What if I'm late? For this event, late arrival is definitely a problem. The museum will not admit us until the entire group has arrived. We will all end up waiting for you and that will cut into our time in the museum, so please do not be late! If you are on your way but running late, call Laurie at 301-675-5006 as soon as possible, and we will try to wait if the museum allows.
How do we get there? There is virtually no parking near the mall, so please plan to take public transportation. The nearest Metro stop is the Smithsonian on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines. For those with mobility issues, pedicabs run along Jefferson. It is not a long walk from the Metro, but the NMAAHC is also not next door to the Metro.
MORE LATER ON THE EXACT MEETING TIME AND OTHER LOGISTICS. Updated information will be posted on the website as it becomes available. Everyone who registers will be sent a list of what items are not allowed by the museum and other updates as they become available.
