Join our Gilliam Place community for a weekly walk and games at Thomas Jefferson Community Center (TJ). All are welcome (no matter where you live)!
To prepare: Please wear comfortable walking shoes and feel free to bring balls, frisbees, and other fun, easily transportable equipment.
Meet up: You can either meet our walkling group outside the front entrance of Gilliam Place on Lincoln Street at 9am or meet us directly at TJ around 9:15am. If you are running late, please message the OSG Events Whatsapp group to determine where we currently are so you can catch up.
Weather Cancellation: In case of unsafe weather conditions, an announcement will be made on Whatsapp at least 2 hours prior to the start of the outdoor event.
Contact: We will communicate changes of plans via Whatsapp, so please join the OSG Events Whatsapp group to receive important event updates.
Accomodations: At OSG, our staff are not direct service providers, so we ask that each participant attending an event brings any personal support they may need for their well-being and engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, caregivers, communication partners, or mobility aids. That said, with prior notice, we can arrange group-wide accommodations during event planning. These might include ensuring wheelchair-accessible routes or selecting allergen-safe menus. Additional accommodations are available upon request, though they may not be listed here. To discuss your specific needs and help us make our events more inclusive, please contact us at claudet@ourstompingground.org with the subject line “Accomodation Request.”
*Note: Sign-up is mandatory. Be sure to RSVP so we know to expect you.
