Good afternoon Derek,

Just came across the “special needs” wording we have used for our past several women’s events that I thought might be helpful for next year’s comedy café registration page or forms.

Special Needs: Every effort will be made to accommodate persons and families with special needs. Please check the box below if you would like our Special Needs Coordinator to contact you regarding event accommodations.

As always, praying for you and the ministry.

Pam
