Thanks for your comments/additions. Once I get everyone's comments,
I'll be sending around another, hopefully final, draft for approval

Church Events: </strong>Leslie Gilbert has contacted Phyllis Peara
concerning plans for playing a version of the game Taboo after the
third Friday potluck in April. David Gilmartin and Fred Schultz have
volunteered to help with the set-up and materials for the game.<span

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="375243020-09022008"> </span><strong>Liaisons
with Other Groups:</strong> Jeanne-Marie Moore reported that she had
received no response to her request to represent accessibility issues
on the Shared Values Subcommittee of the Building Project Oversight
Committee. <span class="375243020-09022008"><font face="Arial" size="2">
However, the next day after the meeting, she received a response
encouraging accessibility issues to be discussed at the Listening
Groups. This committee is closed for the time being. </font></span></p>

said she would represent the group at the Coordinating Council meeting
on Saturday.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We discussed possible participation
in the church talent show (also known as the "Music Soiree") on
Saturday, March 15th. One possibility would be a reading by
Jeanne-Marie of a funny piece about <span class="375243020-09022008"><font

with a sighted person if you are blind, </font></span><span

Discussion:</strong><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">An unrecognized accessibility issue
was mentioned by Fred Schultz regarding people who may not be able, or
do not want, to use computers. Awareness of this issue might help keep
those people informed about important communications from the church.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="375243020-09022008"><font
face="Arial" size="2"> * </font></span>Jeanne-Marie Moore mentioned
the importance of letting people know that those with accessibility
issues are now able to vote through <span class="375243020-09022008"><font
face="Arial" size="2"> a program developed by the Secretary of State's
Office and the Help America Vote Act which a person with a disability
can use at home on their own computer or go to the County Elections
Office to vote privately and independently. Contact the County
Elections Office: 682-4234 for further information.</font></span><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>Accessibility Checklists:</b>
David Gilmartin has assembled three accessibility surveys, with
different approaches and amounts of information, to be made available
through the accessibility pages of the UUCE website. One is a fairly
simple survey, in narrative format, from the National Organization on
Disability. Another is a survey of about 50 items in a yes-no-comment
format, updated from a survey created by the Pacific Southwest District
a few years ago. The third one, which is lengthier and with more
technical detail, is an "ADA Checklist for Existing Facilities," by
the Barrier-Free Environments and Adaptive Environments Center. <br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>Conclusion:</b> The next meeting
is scheduled for Tuesday, March 4th, at 7 pm in the Sanctuary. The
meeting was adjourned at 9 pm.</p>
