"The work was really good and I wish my feet had held up better. There was
a
lot of walking involved even with the bus."

NCECA has to do better at providing accommodations and accessibility for
members with disabilities. Too many had difficulty getting around to the
shows and access to some was very difficult. ADA compliance is a must,
especially with our aging group (populated with so many boomers) who will
only need more consideration with time.
Experts on this subject are out there and they are more than willing to help
with planning and are able to vet sites and transportation in order to meet
the needs of all of us. I know there were places I didn't venture because
the walk was too much for me.
