Dear Colleague:

My name is Bill Singerman. I am writing on behalf of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History's Museum on the Move outreach program. We are in the process of collecting information from other museums across the country dealing with outreach programming offered to those with special needs. We would very much appreciate your input as we seek to improve upon our services. If you can help us by answering the following questions, please reply to either myself at [log in to unmask] or Lenore Adler at [log in to unmask] . Thank you for your time.

                                                           Kind Regards,

                                                           Bill Singerman, Education Dept.                                                             Carnegie Museum of Natural History
