[Access] march meeting

[David Gilmartin]

Mary,

I sent copies of the accessibility surveys to those who requested  
them, requesting feedback. To date, I have received suggestions back  
only from Cindy. I've been assuming that I would incorporate  
suggestions, then send the surveys to Martha for putting up on the  
website. Do you feel that another round of discussion/input/editing is  
necessary? Do you have some feedback or suggestions you want me to  
think about? (I'll incorporate Cindy's suggestions in the next day or  
so and send the revised edition around.)

I've no word from anyone on our budget request at this time. But  
there's still two weeks before the meeting, so might hear, or could  
solicit feedback for the meeting as it gets closer.

Cindy and I have a now and then thread of discussion which has to do  
with articulation of the accessibility goal(s) for the church,  
something that could go onto our accessibility pages. It's a  
discussion about the independent living philosophy, independence,  
interdependence... We haven't tried to write anything down yet. An  
interesting part of our discussions is about not recognizing invisible  
disabilities (e.g., back problems) or invisible accessibility/ 
communications barriers (e.g., not having sign language  
interpretation, not recognizing others may not understand English).

Another: Cindy mentioned that the committee that Jeanne-Marie wanted  
to be on, having to do with values and new building, I think, but I  
don't remember name of the committee, is a "closed" committee. So may  
want to revisit and continue the discussion we've had about this. But  
I suggest you talk with Cindy about it to get a good background on the  
situation!!

That's what I can think of now.

David
