> Hello All, on October 15 we are organizing a walk for white cane, safety day and guide dog awareness. We will be meeting at the Multnomah County courthouse. At 1200 SW. 1st Ave. That is downtown Portland. We will be walking up and down the sidewalk from 11 AM through 1 PM. All are invited, my hope is that if you have a white cane, a guide dog or a friend that is supportive of you that you are there to gain the attention of the sighted pedestrians and drivers on the street. Please feel free to bring your backpack with food and drink.
