This year, in Dallas, participants walked outside Dallas City Hall on Thursday, October 13 and then received the Dallas Mayor’s Proclamation. The event included speakers who shared about living their lives to the fullest and then lunch donated by our friends at Cane’s Chicken. “This event is always a lot of fun,” said Blake Lindsey, Envision Dallas Outreach Manager. “It celebrates the independence and self-confidence of people who are blind or visually impaired.”
In Wichita, the Mayor’s Proclamation was received at the City Council meeting a few days before the walk. Then on Saturday, October 15, participants met at the Advanced Learning Library and walked along the river to the Keeper of the Plains and back. At the end of the walk, the All Community CafĂ©, located inside the library, treated walkers to drinks and snacks. “This event grows each year,” said Hannah Christensen, Director of Community Programs. “It is great to see the community support and to raise awareness of people who use white canes.”
