This brought to mind the lovely woman who initiated into Zeta when she was in her 90s. Perhaps AOII and Heather may mutually reach out to one another? Perhaps? It's just a thought, that's all.
On this topic: way back (when God was a baby) and there was no ADA or anything of that nature, our chapter had an outstanding member who was wheelchair-bound. We never gave it a second thought; I don't even remember talking about it when I went through recruitment. She lived in the facility, in a ground floor room. It's just how it was, and that was that. In hindsight I'm sure she had many challenges that we weren't aware of.
