> This is Ranita who used to work at Independence, Inc. I am assisting the Spencer Museum of Art with hosting a community forum on how the museum can be more inclusive of people with disabilities. The event will take place at the Lawrence Public Library. I was wondering if you could help share information listed below with folks who might be interested. Are you still involved with the Jayhawk Chapter for the Blind? If so, would you mind sharing the information with the group? If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 785-760-3539.

> How can the Spencer Museum of Art be a more inclusive space where you feel welcome, represented, and empowered to participate? Join facilitator Ranita Wilks for candid conversations, light refreshments, and interactive activities to share your thoughts and experiences. We will also share what you can expect and invite your input on the Museum’s newly renovated galleries which begin reopening November 3. This community forum is open to members of the disability community and their families and care partners. Children are welcome and invited to participate in a kids station. Ranita Wilks is a Targeted Case Manager with Case Management Services Inc.
