County Hosts Community Disabilities Awareness Day Event in November

By Lenora Boninfante

Cape May County will again celebrate Disabilities Awareness Day on Saturday, November 13th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Avalon Community Center. The second annual event is designed as a day of information, food, music and fun not only for people with disabilities but for all who are interested in the agencies and organizations that serve the citizens of Cape May County. The theme of the event summarizes its purpose: Opening doors and dialogue . . . so that all are welcome in the Cape May County community.
Admission is free and refreshments will be provided. Also, Fare Free Transportation will be available to county residents. A Kids Corner is planned, with activities to entertain the children so their parents can speak with and collect disability-related information from the more than fifty exhibitors on hand.
Cape Regional Medical Center’s Parish Nurse Program will be offering free blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar screenings and other health information at the event. Also, there will be an opportunity to register individuals on the state’s Special Needs Registry.
Exhibitors will include representatives from local and state service agencies, civic organizations, support groups and commercial vendors specializing in products and services of particular interest to people with disabilities, their families and caregivers.
For more information call the Cape May County Office of Disability Services at 609–465-4117 Ext. 28.
