OMD Accessibility Award 2008
Has your congregation taken steps to become an “Accessible” congregation? If so, you may be eligible for the Ohio-Meadville District Accessibility Award. This award, presented for the first time (to the First Unitarian Church of Youngstown) at the 2007 OMD Annual Meeting, will be presented annually to an O-MD congregation that has made a significant accomplishment with respect to Accessibility issues. Accomplishments may be in areas including, but not limited to, architecture, environment, attitude and communication, and may be related to any aspect of church life. For examples of what can be done in your church, check out the tabs from “Getting to Church” to “Beyond the Building” at the UUA website http://www.uua.org/leaders/leaderslibrary/accessibility/environment/index.shtml . Maybe your congregation has taken steps in one or more of these areas. If so, why not let us know about them by submitting a description of what you have done? Any “project” undertaken within the past 3 years (2005 – 2007) will be eligible for the award, to be presented at the 2008 O-MD Annual Meeting.
Submissions should be in the form of a written description of the project (the more descriptive the better), and should indicate when it was undertaken. Supplemental photographs or other illustrative items are encouraged. Submissions must be received by February 15, 2008 and will be reviewed by the O-MD Accessibility Committee, who will choose the award recipient.
