  1. Senseless comment to Question 7 (c) I have been complaining about the lack of designated handicap parking spaces at MS related programs for years. I suggested to the local MS Society, who sponsors most of these events, could they maybe mark off and designate additional handicap parking close to the venue. Almost everyone who comes to these things needs a handicap spot, some more than others. They said it was a good idea, but it has never happened. I guess we just need to pray it doesn’t rain.

  2. Margaret,
    Your comment confirms my thoughts exactly.
    At our group functions there are only so many spaces, but so many of us. Since I use my wheelchair I don’t even park close–figure I can roll farther than I can walk. (Maybe I’ll get lucky and get hit by a bus!)
