Highlander Installs a Wheelchair Lift
in the Workshop Center
On March 30, 2006, Highlander celebrated the installation of a wheelchair lift in the Workshop Center, which will enable people with disabilities to move more easily between the first and second floors of the building. The lift was inaugurated by Kristen Moody, granddaughter of Betty Hickman, who works part-time at the Workshop Center.
Earlier this year, we also created an accessible full bathroom in the Workshop Center, adjacent to the main meeting room and the sleeping quarters.
These upgrades are part of our 75th Anniversary Capital Campaign and reflect our commitment to making Highlander accessible to all members of our constituency. They were made possible in part by a grant from the Ford Foundation and by other contributions to the 75th Anniversary Campaign. We appreciate this support.
The pictures below show the construction of the enclosure for the lift, the installation of the lift itself, and the celebration.
