Press release
July 26, 1990 was the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the first piece of legislation to provide people with disabilities the right to equal access to employment, governmental programs and services, areas of public accommodations, communications, and transportation. Many consider it to be the most comprehensive legislation giving individuals with impairments access to everyday life.
In celebration of this milestone, every year Independent Living of the Genesee Region (ILGR) holds a Consumer ADA Picnic. This year it takes place from 12:00 to 2:00 PM on Friday July 26th at the Town of Batavia Kiwanis Park, 3808 W. Main St., Batavia, NY 14020. It offers Free food and games including a Scavenger Hunt.
