FSA and people with disabilities -- Repost from Del's blog
I am reposting from Del's blog in order to boost the signal. I am also taking it off friend's only so if you know someone who wants to chime in, feel free to send them this way. Given the limitations of Ramblewood, there are whole areas that are unaccessible to those with disabilities. Given the whole liberal open-to-everyone attitude that most pagany folks have, I think this is a good work Del is doing and something that is long overdue.

Hi! I'm Del! You may know me as the person who brought FSG the great mobility aid known as the Short Bus!
Well - that was just the beginning.
I am compiling a list for the FSA coordinators, the movers and shakers, about all sorts of ways we can make Beltane, Free Spirit Gathering, Fires of Venus, and even Mythical Journeys more disability friendly.
So if you have ideas, thoughts, dreams, complaints, or suggestions, please send them to me at queendelirium at yahoo dot com. I will add them to the list.
Be creative! Think big! I mean, I've already listed "A Wheelchair lift for the pool." I know that may not happen in our lifetimes, but even just making people aware of ways the event isn't truly accessible can be enough, for now. And you never know what may garner enough support for fund raising, or donations, or something falling out of the sky.
So please email your suggestions to me, and I will add them to the mega list.
Thanks for your time and attention!
~Del
