CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2016-06-08 | 17 | Beth Kenny: Great. Thank you, Kerry. 7. ANNOUNCEMENTS Beth Kenny: Now we move on to announcements. I know that the event work group has been meeting, and I believe you have.. La Donna Franco: Well, [chuckle] Okay, so the work group consist of myself and Arnold, and Tony with us. And so we have been planning to be present for the next Park Street Festival. And the vision is to, for example, be more visible as a Commission, and to offer information to the public, such as video information, and be more visible on an ongoing basis through events like this, and also developing partnerships with other Commission boards. And we're in the planning process of that, and we've each agreed to have Fulfill some roles, and so, we should have some more information shortly, and it would be wonderful From UDO, and a short brochure or kind of a pamphlet offering that. Beth Kenny: Yes, that would definitely be a great way to get some information out there about what Universal Design is, and what the city is considering. I really like that idea, and I would be willing to come and work at that at any point. La Donna Franco: You want to add anything, Arnold? Arnold Brillinger: I just wanted to add, I've been to places like ADA Pacific. First, I contacted them and had them mail me some things, some information on what they do and so forth. Then I went in there one day when I And I just kind of raided their publications closet. I got some stuff on the service animals, I got some stuff on other items, I even got some pens. I gave them all to Kerry. I got like 80 of those pens, they're advertisement for ADA Pacific, but they're still things that we can hand out, and probably, maybe we'll even get something that has CDI on it, and the phone number for Kerry's office, and the web pages and all that kind of stuff. And I think that this would be a great time for us to hand out and they sent me some electronic files on visitability. Well, they've got two pages and four pages, and I thought we'll get a two pager, put it on both sides of one piece of paper, have big stacks of these available on the table. And people can read them on the way home, or take them home and read them there. And we need to be able to get out those things that we are interested in, or that concern us. We ought to get them out so that everyone knows. And somewhere I saw. Was it in your thing here, Beth? About writing letters to the editor? Beth Kenny: Yes. Arnold Brillinger: Right? Well, I started a letter a couple of weeks ago after I went out to the housing. And starting writing, and it turned into not really a letter, it turned into more like a novel. So I've got to cut it down. But it is a way for people to get that information. Beth Kenny: Great, thank you. And I really appreciate it. I know this group has been working hard, because I've been in on your emails. So thank you for all of the work that you guys are doing. And please let the group know anytime that we can help you out, I know you'll probably need people to help staff the table in July. 08/17/16 Page 17 of 19 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2016-06-08.pdf |
