Next meeting:
We canceled last Saturday's chapter meeting, because of what we thought was going to be some nasty ice after Friday's snow storm. We have rescheduled the meeting for this Saturday, March 1 at 2:00 p.m. in the Board Room at Selis Manor, 135 East 23rd street between 6th and 7th avenues, north side of the street. We have several major items to consider including Access-a-Ride and other NYC Transit issues, and your choices for intersections most in need of accessible pedestrian signals.
Looking forward to seeing everybody on Saturday, rain or shine. Best,
Karen
