[NFBOK-Talk] FW: White Cane Safety Day!!! Friday, October 15th

[Jane Lansaw]

For those of you who live closer to Tulsa, don’t forget that our event starts at 11 o’clock at Ellis Walkerwoods Memorial on the campus of Oklahoma State University/Tulsa.  We will have braille readers to read a braille copy of the governors proclamation. Then we will walk to  Guthrie green where we will disperse for lunch.
We also have blind white cane users directing walkers along the course to make sure everyone turns in the right spot.  

Please come to whichever event is closer to you and have a good time celebrating the tools of our independence.

We are having it this year at the same location we had it two years ago, in front of the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library at 300 Park Avenue, in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City.  We chose this location because of the proximity to the county courthouse and city hall as well as having a street car stop right next to the library on Hudson.  There are also several buses that drop off on the west side of Hudson at Robert S Kerr; 009, 012, 013, 13N and 016.

We will end at 12:00 just in time to go catch lunch at one of the numerus eating places in the area.  Embark as graciously donated Street Car passes again this year which gives you the opportunity to ride down and eat in Bricktown or Automobile Alley as well.
