CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2008-09-22 | 3 | Commission on Disability Issues September 22, 2008 Minutes Page 3 of 5 Commissioner Krongold discussed possible partnerships for an outreach event to community members with special needs, in connection with the CERT Disaster Registry. Commissioner Krongold distributed and discussed the draft proposal, which includes a kick-off meeting, list of potential and definite partners, potential underwriting/sponsorship, community resources and date and location. Commissioner Krongold asked if the Commission felt this is something that they could do and requested further input. Chair Lord-Hausman stated she liked the idea and this would be a broad-based effort. Commissioner Krietz suggested adding the Alameda Adult School program to the list of potential partners. Chair Lord-Hausman also agreed to the definite partners on the draft proposal and stated that there are tremendous resources available, including the Special Olympics and Miracle Baseball League. Commissioner Krietz stated that the City of Dublin has done a safety fair and the CDI could customize its outreach event similar to Dublin's. Chair Lord-Hausman asked, in principle, if the CDI would like to explore this more with Commissioner Krongold as the lead to which the Commission agreed. Chair Lord-Hausman stated that Disaster Registry staff participation is positive. Commissioner Krietz stated that she thinks this is a great idea and volunteered to assist Commissioner Krongold. Commissioner Berger stated it is the kind of exposure that the CDI has needed since it started. Commissioner Krongold agreed to come back with more information and details at the October meeting. Commissioner Berger stated that the CDI should partner with the Hospital for next year's fair as a good start to which Chair Lord-Hausman responded that it will not work because they do not have room, but it is something that the work group could begin to plan and work on. Commissioner Krongold stated that she will contact Jackie Krause regarding using the Mastick Senior Center as a possible event location.
