Speaking only for myself, I don't much care about getting refreshments
when there is a large crowd at church. I rely on friends to bring me a
plate. There are simply far too many attending our church for most
services and events to make accessibility by wheelchair easily
accomplished.<br>
<br>
But I do agree with Bob, below, that people should be encouraged to be
more considerate and not block traffic, especially in hallways and near
exits. I think it is a safety issue, as well as one of courtesy and
kindness. (And I know I have been guilty of blocking traffic myself
when talking to others.)<br>

<pre wrap="">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.

with Pat Hendricks, the chair of that committee, to let her know that
accessibility for that event is a hot topic amongst our listserv
participants, after our experience at the Auction. Cindy has also
spoken with her.
