[Access] Accessibility at the Soiree

[Robert Kaeser]

My two cents:
I think it would be a good idea to have those with handicaps to get 
first access to the food line.  It would be helpful if Tom or someone 
would make an announcement to that effect and to also make everyone 
aware and more sensitive to the needs to others.  There is a tendency 
to start up a conversation with a friend in a food line and stop to 
talk with them when one has his/her plate full or coffee cup 
filled.  People should be encouraged to move on and be aware of other 
people's needs.
