support of this observance which focuses attention on conditions that affect all of us.
Central to our activities this year are various events which will bring attention to the
successes of people with disabilities in our community, as well as recognition to businesses
and individuals who have gone the extra mile in breaking down barriers which limit the
access to many people, such as architectural structures, prejudices, and ignorance.
Some of those who are or have been involved in disAbility Awareness Week activities
include: Shenandoah University; Lord Fairfax Community College; Handley Regional Library;
the public schools of the Lord Fairfax Planning District VII; the Frederick County Parent
Resource Center; Barry Lee and WINC Radio and "Cable Talk "; Winchester Medical Center;
HN Funkhouser Co.; Winchester Parks and Recreation Department; and a variety of other
community members, both individual and group involvement.
Thank you for your assistance.
