  AN OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHERS
TO BECOME INVOLVED IN INNOVATIVE DISABILITY ACCOMMODATION


We are very excited about our latest endeavor and hope you will
join us in our enthusiasm as we introduce the 'protecto-dome' to
the world.  The Ohio Network for the Chemically Injured (ONFCI)
has been involved in numerous projects which attempt to educate
others about Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), a hidden
disability.  Many of you know of us and have supported our
efforts in the past.

Those who are not ill may take for granted many daily activities
including going to work, eating out in restaurants, visiting a
library, going to church, attending a play or movie and other
social and necessary events.  Many do not realize that for some,
these activities can be debilitating and life threatening.
Typically, those with MCS and respiratory disabilities are unable
to attend these functions because doing so can make them severely
ill and cause disruption of life activities such as walking,
thinking and breathing.

We are pleased to announce and invite you to join us in the world
premier of a solution to some of these problems.   Case Western
Reserve University's Engineering Service Group students and
Playhouse Square Center have worked together to actually plan,
design and build ONFCI's concept.  Home Depot and N.E.E.D.S. are
donating the required materials to build the very first
'protecto-dome', a public accommodation for people with MCS,
respiratory disabilities and other disabilities that require
avoidance of chemicals and fragrances in the ambient air.

ONFCI will be hosting an event at Playhouse Square Center where
the first ever portable protecto-dome will be permanently housed
to introduce this new invention to the Greater Cleveland
community (and to the world).  We are writing to ask you to help
us with our community efforts by sharing your expertise,
experience, talents, planning abilities and employees who can be
so instrumental to the success of this endeavor.  We need
volunteers to serve on the planning committee and assist us in
brain-storming, public relations and other unique talents as well
as volunteers for clerical tasks.

Please contact us at your earliest convenience so that we can
discuss this further and answer any questions you may have.
