<b>ACCESSIBILITY MATTERS</b><br>
<br>
In good Unitarian tradition, the Accessibility Committee is taking a
summer break. Look for a message about our September meeting later in
the summer and plan to join us then!<br>

Accessibility Tip</b><br>
<br>
</i>As our concepts change, so does our language. Terms once commonly
used, such as "crippled", "deaf and dumb", "retarded", and
"wheelchair-bound" are no longer acceptable. Instead use language that
focuses on the person first: and the disability second. For example,
"Jennifer has a disability", "John uses a wheelchair", "Sarah is deaf".
