Commission reviews Chamber Easter event, flags accessibility improvements for future events
Summary
Members said the Chamber Easter event was well attended but noisy; the commission suggested moving the bounce house to a different room at future events and may consider purchasing an accessible game for upcoming activities.
The Disability Awareness Commission noted that the recent Chamber Easter event was well attended but that the gym was loud because of a bounce house, which affected the event environment. The agenda text records that members discussed locating the bounce house in a different room from vendors and organizations at future events to reduce noise and improve access.
Commissioners also discussed proactively improving inclusion at future events: the agenda states the DAC "may consider purchasing an accessible game for future events." The agenda lists several upcoming community events—Action TrackChairs (June 7 at 11:00 a.m.), a Lego event (April 20 at 6:00 p.m.), and AAC Storytime (July 20 at 6:00 p.m.)—that could be affected by these accessibility choices.
