What We Do
We discuss accessibility issues which concern Punxsutawney and the surrounding area. Issues such as snow removal, low hanging obstacle's, entrances into public buildings, Area Transit Authority and any other issues that someone wishes to bring to the meeting. We not only work towards accessibility, we also try to help others with disabilities. In some cases if someone has a recent disability it is sometimes nice to talk to someone who has been disabled for some time. We can also direct you to the right place to get help in that area.
Where We Meet
We meet the last Tuesday of each month at Punxsutawney Phils Cakes & Steaks, Indiana Street, Punxsutawney. Unless otherwise posted or canceled due to holiday's or circumstances beyond our control. Meetings start at 11:00 AM.
