I sent you a message and emailed you last week about attending the Focus group for Ryde Council Disability Inclusion Action Plan.
I am extremely keen to attend tomorrow’s session Thursday 23 April. I am a member of the Ryde Council’s Inclusion and Wellbeing Committee and want to be involved in this process. I am a person who has been challenged by inclusion and accessibility as my mobility issues have become more apparent with the onset of arthritis.
Tomorrows session is the onlyl one I can attend as I will be interstate the following week.
I am more interested in attending – rather than attending for the sake of receiving a payment.
I hope you look favourably on this request.
Regards
Helen Rubin
Hi Helen, we followed up with City of Ryde to reach out to confirm with you. Thank you for your interest.
