Another approach
Rather than meeting vendors staying put and letting participants come to me may be an effective method. The local hospital offers a health and wellness fair featuring the stroke disability. It is important to get to know the staff of the hospital in order to consider this a useable location. This is similar to what I just did. I volunteered for a large event at a non-profit- Race Against Racism through the YWCA. I met a resident and she will be a good start in my plight to reach out to the caring community about social issue of importance. This will be an experiment on my part.

Inclusion in a program
There's a good program for teens who help them focus on future vocational goals then introduce fitness. The program is down three steps. I have been actively trying to facilitate a move to another building. However, that is difficult due to the limited budget and layout of the building. The land lord is unwilling to make changes or purchase a platform lift. I considered some fundraising options regarding awareness programs in churches, service auctions, and raffles. Just recently I thought about trying a third angel. Rather than adapt the current location or travel to a different one ii would be possible to have the program for people with disabilities in a different location in which they would conduct the vocational aspect and limited fitness for a limited time. This way people can see the worth of the program and benefits to moving. There's always many other angels to try when the first and even second do not work successfully.

Continued outreach
I saw a movie in which a 90 year old Holocaust victim goes to schools to spread the message. Some people don't even believe the atrocity happened. Veterans Cafes give people the chance to hear about wartime stories that veterans have gone through, there is only 7% of that population left. The next generation needs to pick up the baton. I conduct disability programs for the same cause there are always more people who are afraid of and discriminate against people with disabilities. Continued outreach is important because if you don't know your past, it can come back again. Often people want to live their own lives and have their beliefs tho they may be false. That is not good because people must learn about situations in society and not just from text books.
