From maryotten at earthlink.net Sat May 3 19:05:00 2008 From: maryotten at earthlink.net (Mary Otten) Date: Sat, 03 May 2008 17:05:00 -0700 Subject: [Access] Fwd: [Access-l] Equual Access membership invitation Message-ID: For those folks who are not on the access-l UUA list serv, or for those of you who are but have not yet responded to the invitation to join the newly formed Equual Access organization, an affiliate of the UUA, I wanted to pass along this invitation forwarded from the national listserv. Please consider joining and contributing as you feel called to do. Mary We would like to invite you to join us on an exciting new endeavor. A group of us have been working for a year now to form Equual Access, an affinity group of Unitarian Universalists with physical, sensory, mental health, and intellectual disabilities, and our allies. Our goal is to promote equality and access for UUs with disabilities. We have created by-laws, mission and vision statements, and elected officers. (These are posted on Access-L at uua.org, and discuss in detail our organizational structure and proposed identity caucuses.) We now invite your membership, participation, and support in Equual Access. We welcome your involvement in the birth of this new, transformative, and potentially powerful organization -- whether your skills and interests are more conceptual (leadership, organizational development, recruitment, etc) or more concrete (organizing an annotated bibliography of recommended books on disability, functioning as a resource on forming accessibility committees; creating and promoting hospital kits that assist hard of hearing people communicate during hospital stays, etc). If all you can do at this time is offer financial support, we will appreciate that, also. Just imagine what Equual Access can accomplish! We can create an atmosphere of acceptance and openness to those of us with disabilities; we can advocate for each other and support each other; we can develop and adopt policies which do not discriminate against those of us with disabilities; we can help create leadership opportunities for people with disabilities; we can educate UUs on the social justice implications of ableism and other linked oppressions; and we can affirm that the spiritual needs of congregational members and friends with disabilities are recognized and addressed. Why wouldn't you want to be a part of that? At the bottom of this letter is a simple membership form. Cut and paste and complete the form and send it back to ACCESS at UUA.ORG and as you become a member, please also let us know the level of leadership and support you are able to provide at this time. Please become a member of Equual Access, and let us know how you will help us eliminate the barriers which prevent the full participation of UUs with disabilities in the life of our faith community. If not you, then who? If you are coming to General Assembly in Fort Lauderdale join us on Friday, June 27 at 12:15pm in the Convention Center, Room 124-125 (we have an ad in the GA Program.) Yours in faith, The Equual Access Leadership group --Arthur Tackman, President --Devorah Greenstein, Vice President --Mary Otten, Secretary --Amanda Schuber, Treasurer --Caron Wells, Chair Right Relations Committee --Barbara Meyers, Disability Consultant --Carolyn Cartland, Disability Consultant Membership information: 1.

As you see, he can't meet with us then, and you see below other times when he could meet, including, apparently during the day time. Mary Thanks for your kind words about Sunday -- I like your brief summary of my point. If I'm ever stuck on a worship service newsletter description, I might call you! I won't be available on June 3. Evenings I can meet... 6/11 Wed 6/19 Thurs 6/25 Wed 6/26 Thurs (I'm not sure if the Social Justice committee is meeting in June, on 6/24 Tues. If they are, I would like to meet with them; if not, that date would be open. I'll check on that). Tuesday through Thursday during the day, my schedule is much more open. thank you! Steve mary otten wrote: hi rev steve, do you know yet if you will be able to attend the june meeting of the accessibility committee at its regularly scheduled time of the first tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm? or will you be out of town still? if you will be out, could you suggest a couple of datessttimes that would work for you, so that we can pick one at our meeting tomorrow night? thanks. on an entirely different topic, i am glad you gave the sermon you did yesterday. i think we all need to give a lot of very serious thought about a possible move downtown and not just breeze into it because it sounds good. mary Rev.

You sure don't let any grass grow under your feet, do you? I will look forward to the 6/'11 meeting... And if we are going to continue to have impact, Winter or Spring next year seems a little long from now... Since it is for the Sunday morning cluster (which seems to me a great idea -- like for a medium to large church)... We could lose some momentum in terms of the progress we've made this year. can't wait for the minutes. dm On May 7, 2008, at 3:10 PM, mary otten wrote: > here is the rev's response re the june meeting. looks like we have him > for an hour and a half, so if we have any stuff we want to do that we > do not need him there for, we should put it at the end of the agenda, > after he leaves at 8:30. i think it might be a nice thing to send him > a list of the things we talked about at last night's meeting that we > would like to discuss with him. so when i get that in the draft > minutes, i'll send it along, if folks do not have a problem. we can > also use this list to brainstorm and discuss additional ideas, > remembering that we definitely want to leave time to discuss the one > he mentions below. > > mary > >> >> Hi Mary, >> >> I look forward to attending the June 11 meeting, 7-8:30 I presume. >> >> I'd like to talk with the group about the possibility of doing a >> program on accessibility for the Sunday morning cluster of committees >> and groups, in the winter or perhaps later. >> >> thank you! >> Steve >> >> Mary Otten wrote: Hi Rev Steve, >> All of us on the accessibility committee can make a June 11 meeting at >> 7:00 pm.

I did know about the clusters idea. I was confused by the Sunday morning nomenclature, thinking (or NOT thinking very clearly!) that it referred to the time of the meeting. It seems to me there is a good rationale for us being included with this group, as well as the Social Justice one. And I think our involvement need not obviate our participating in other projects, such as a workshop, outreach to other churches in the area, or affiliation with national groups like N.O.D. and EQUUAL ACCESS.

Minutes of the UUCE Accessibility Committee Meeting May 6, 2008 Present: d. maria, Leslie Gilbert, David Gilmartin, Jeanne-Marie Moore, Mary Otten, Cindy Pitcairn, Ken Ross Chalice lighting and a reading by Leslie Gilbert were followed by brief check-ins. The agenda was amended at maria's request to include a consideration of problems with the handling of hearing-assistive devices. Liaisons with Other Committees Ken Ross reported that the Facilities Council had completed painting white stripes along the edges of the concrete pathway leading to the lower level. The paint includes tiny glass crystals that add sparkle, making for greater visibility at night when the path is lighted. maria reported that the Committee would be included with the proposed Social Justice Cluster quarterly meetings. Leslie Gilbert and David Gilmartin said that they had nothing to report from the RE and BPOC committees, respectively. Taboo Game Night Plans Leslie Gilbert and Jeanne-Marie Moore, with help from Dick Loescher, have come up with ideas for 40 disability-related cards to be used for the Taboo game night scheduled for Friday, May 16th . These will be printed in large type and Braille. As Fred Schultz had offered to help with the game night, maria offered to call him about helping out. maria also offered to provide some "white elephant" door prizes. Access Checklist for UUCE Events The draft of a checklist written by Cindy Pitcairn was discussed, and it was agreed to rewrite the items dealing with placement of walkers and with space around tables. Upon approval of the subsequent draft by e-mail, it will be distributed to the Coordinating Council at their meeting on Saturday, May 10th, as part of the Committee's report. It will also be linked to the Committee's web pages and sent out on the UUCE "Biz" listserv. Hearing-Assistive Devices Two of these were missing and one was left turned on after the second Sunday service. The Committee discussed ways to prevent them from straying in the future. One idea was to ask people to deposit their driver's licenses in order to borrow one. Another suggestion was to have a sign on the welcoming table and the basket in which they belong clearly marked. Although the handling of these devices is overseen by the ushers and the sound group, it is also an accessibility issue, as are other items that are dealt with primarily by the ushers, such as removal of a chair to allow placement of a wheelchair or walker and having Braille hymnals easily available. The Committee felt it would be good to ensure that awareness of such items was included in usher training sessions in the fall. Future of the Committee The Committee discussed continuing and future directions for the coming year. Possibilities include a workshop, a Sunday service with a focus on accessibility issues, a panel with other area churches, applying for membership in the National Organization on Disability's Accessible Congregations Program, and continued development of our web page as a resource. New Officers The following have agreed to serve as officers for the coming year: Leslie Gilbert, Chair; Mary Otten, Recording Secretary; Cindy Pitcairn, Corresponding Secretary. Next Meeting The Committee agreed to hold its next meeting on Wednesday, June 11th at 7 pm so that the Rev. Landale can attend. We considered some of the things for which we would like to have his input, mostly concerned with how we, and he as our minister, can make our congregation more aware of, and knowledgeable about, ableism. Seven of our members and friends use wheelchairs, three are blind--that's about 2.5% of our congregation with obvious accessibility issues. Add in those who have less obvious, but more common disabling conditions, such as hearing loss, diabetes, severe arthritis, obesity, and various stages of major diseases (cancer, heart disease, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's) and you have a far greater percentage. Although we have made some progress in terms of architectural modifications, childcare provision, an excellent sound system, and the establishment of this Accessibility Committee, there has been no major thrust against ableism. In fact, many in the congregation are only vaguely, if at all, aware of the concept. We have several ideas of ways to improve this situation and would like Rev. Steve's ideas about their potential effectiveness: * a worship service focusing on ableism, * a full- or half-day workshop on it, * official affiliation of our church with other churches pursuing accessibility (such as the National Organization on Disability's Accessible Congregations Program) * clarification that our committee's role in the church structure, and, by extension, that of accessibility, does not fit neatly into one category, such as Social Justice, Facilities Council, Events, or Membership, but is an over-riding concern * outreach to other churches in the area, perhaps a panel discussion on the issue of accessibility The meeting was adjourned at 9 pm.

I have a few suggestions: (1) Omit names of members; instead just list co-chairs. (2) I wonder if we need both Responsibilities and On-Going Activities, as they are somewhat redundant. Omit one or the other (perhaps On-Going Activities?) (3) Omit the sound system listing under Facilities Council--it's not their responsibility and, in any case, the only thing I recall our doing was writing an "Accessibility Tip" about it in the newsletter (4) Omit "Challenges" as they seem self-evident (recruiting new members is an ongoing concern for all committees) and the second item is inherent in our responsibilities (5) Add "if this option becomes available" after "Join EQUUAL ACCESS (a new UUA national organization)" (6) Omit "after a third-Friday potluck" after the Taboo Game night item, as at present the Pearas are no longer going to organize them and no one has volunteered to take their place; therefore they may no longer exist. Thanks so much for such a comprehensive and well-organized report.
