It is time for another blog installment of my journeys and adventures as Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts. I want to highlight one of the activities that is starting to become a tradition for Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts. Last year's titleholder, Patti, also got to make an appearance at Foxwoods Resort Casino. I just wanted to take a moment and give this established so much credit for their accessibility and accommodation for individuals with disabilities. Everything from the accessibility in their hotel rooms to having lower card tables for the people who use wheelchairs to easily movable slot machine chairs so that we can get our jackpot winning on.
This experience is special to me because not only did I get to take pictures and support an extremely disability friendly company, but it has a lot of personal meaning because I spent my 21st birthday celebrating at a Foxwoods blackjack table. It is funny how experiences in life come full circle to make an impact on your life. I know coming from a card playing family we will be back to Foxwoods numerous times to have fun and let loose, but coming from this Massachusetts girl there are few places that are as overly accommodating as Foxwoods. I will create many more memories here with and without my title.
Until next time, my friends, "Advocate, Educate, and Empower."
