Wheelchair Accessible Meetings in District 34

My friend T. is the District 34 Accessibility Committee Chair.  She is doing a fantastic job by previously having started a meeting at an independent assisted living center and now completing a report on wheelchair accessible meetings in District 34 which includes Mercer Island, Bellevue and Redmond. 

There are 31 meeting places hosting 137 meetings a week in District 34.  88% of those meeting have wheelchair parking and entrances.  Only 11.7% (16 meetings) can’t be accessed by a non-ambulatory wheelchair user such as myself.  Bathrooms are not so accessible at many meetings.  The simple solution for me is to avoid having to use the bathroom while attending a 60 or 90 minute meeting.  That would not work for everybody.

T. is a writer by profession.  The quality of her report is beyond outstanding.  It is elegant, lucid, easily read and to the point. 

I am grateful and blessed to have friends like T. and for the 121 accessible meetings in District 34.
