[Nfb-hi] FW: UPDATE! White Cane Walk

[Milton Ota]

19th Annual White Cane Walk

 

Ho Opono Services for the Blind will again be organizing its annual White
Cane Safety Awareness Day Walk to increase the general public's awareness of
the long white cane and its significance and importance for persons who are
blind and visually impaired. Please come and join us in our walk through
downtown Honolulu to remind Hawaii motorists to exercise caution and safety
as they drive and see pedestrians using the white cane. This year's walk is
scheduled as follows:

 

White Cane Safety Awareness Day Walk

Friday, October 14, 2011

9:30 a.m. Pre-Walk Program at State Capitol Rotunda

10:00 a.m. Walk Commences!

 

The walk concludes at approximately 10:45 a.m. at the Iolani Palace grounds
with free refreshments and light snacks served. Walk participants are
invited to celebrate the long white cane and enjoy the special entertainment
by talented musicians and vocalists who are blind.

 

We will be giving out new shirts this year but will not be taking pre-orders
for sizes. The shirts will be given out on a first come, first serve basis
and you can only pick up your own shirt. 

 

On behalf of all of the staff of Ho Opono, thank you sincerely for all of
your past support and participation in our annual White Cane Safety
Awareness Day Walk!
