[Access] Immobility at the Auction

[mary otten]

you will now have seen david's note where he said he spoke with pat and got assuance that there will be wheelchair accessible spaces. i can certainly call pat and repeat what david said and see about somebody being there when matt sets up, or perhaps leaving instructions as to specifics on the width and aisles etc. but no tables at all. is that something we want to persue this year? what do y'all think?
