Dear Business Owner,

The Anne Arundel County Commission on Disability Issues is hosting its annual Disability Awareness Day on Saturday, August 27, 2005 at The Centre at Glen Burnie from 1:00 to 4:00.  Set up and tear down will be at 12:00 and 4:00 respectfully.  Disability Awareness Day is a fun-filled event for the whole family that combines interactive exhibits, live entertainment, and information on disability issues within the community.  This event is especially important to the business community since County Executive Janet Owens will be there to present awards to disability friendly businesses within the county.  This year’s event will also honor John Stoughton, a tireless advocate for all disABLED people.  He is a member of the Commission, a coach of several Special Olympics teams, prioritized the county curb cut program, and compiled a list of resources found in the county.  John is also a proud father of a daughter with Downs Syndrome.
 
In addition to promoting community awareness of disability issues, Disability Awareness Day is an excellent opportunity for your organization to increase its public exposure at a reasonable price.  Rental of a full table (six-foot) and 2 chairs is $35.00, or a shared table with one chair is $20.00.  We invite you to take advantage of this inexpensive marketing tool and rent a table to display information about your organization.  A new feature this year is that anyone who wishes to sell items, can do so by signing an agreement with the mall and paying a $12.00 fee.   (Details for agreement and payment separate.)
 
Please complete the registration form below and return it by August 1st, with your check (made payable to Friends of the Anne Arundel County Commission on Disability Issues) to:

Sincerely,
