[Md-sligo] FW: white cane safety day

[Henry Osborne]

Marybeth taught me and my dog how to get around our condo complex and 
different areas of Md. after we moved down here.
We love her. She also helped Terry P find her way around her new work place.
We all love Marybeth.
henry, Terry and Sophie

Oh wow yes, Marybeth is my o&m instructor for when I need help
around the campus. It isn't surprising that she would take part
in something like this.

I am passing this along, because it's a good idea.  It should
have been ours.  I want to see if it works.

Hi Debbie,
Haven't seen you in a while.  How are you?  Francie gave me your
email address, and I wanted to let you know that my friends and I
are planning a flash mob for white cane safety day in Rockville
town center.  I have attached the directions, and the dance info
if you want to come.  Read below for more info:

Want to join a Flash Mob for White Cane Safety Day?

Who? Anyone who is visually impaired and their families/friends
should join us!
Wear red or white shirts OR order a shirt no later than September
29th.
(more info on shirts at the bottom of this page)

What? If you can step, squat, and lunge, you can do the flash mob
dance.
We are dancing to the Justin Timberlake song ?œCan?™t Stop the
Feeling??
(a link to an instructional video of the dance is below as well
as written directions to this very simple dance) The song we
chose is about
4 minutes and 45 seconds.  If you don?™t know what a flash mob
is, look at our event last year on youtube (when you hear the
music, we are doing a simple line dance) :

We will be passing out info and white cane pins to educate others

We plan to videotape the event and share it on youtube

When? October 15th at 12:00 pm -be in the general area by 11:40
(11:20 if you order a shirt) (If you need a ride from the metro
station, be at the Rockville metro station by 11:15, but let us
know if you need a ride-contact info below)

Where?
Rockville town center-between 29 Maryland Ave (Thai Pavillion)
and 33 Maryland Ave (Buffalo Wild Wings)-this is near the
Rockville library.

For those taking public transportation, it is not too long a
walk from  the Rockville metro station. Walking directions
attached.  Anyone not  comfortable walking from the metro station
can let us know by October  13, and we will plan to have a driver
pick you up and get you over the  square.  Call Marybeth
301-412-4224  or Gina 301-613-7378

For anyone who is parking a car, park in Garage A-there is two
hour free validation from the library (or any business where you
make a purchase).

Why? The purpose is not only to celebrate our independence with
the white cane, but to educate people about blindness (and it?™s
fun!)

Contact Info:
Marybeth Cleveland 301-412-4224, mbcleveland at fastmail.net or Gina
Schmid 301-613-7378 lovinghands99 at verizon.net

Please RSVP to Marybeth to  mbcleveland at fastmail.net or Gina at
lovinghands99 at verizon.net so we can share any last minute
details. We will be on the square on October 8th at 10 am if you
want to preview the area or learn the steps on this date.  Let us
know if you plan to come to the ?œpractice??and/or the event,
so we can look out for you.

This event is supported by:
Orientation and Mobility Specialists from Maryland and Virginia:
Marybeth Cleveland, Gina Schmid, Allison Knighton, Mary
Filicetti, Nina O'Neill, and Susie Adams

Have a great day.
