The Orange. County Office of the Employment <br /> Security Commission and Vocational Rehabilitation invite you to participate. <br /> The observance of National Employ the Handicapped Week is but one of many <br /> activities carried out in partnership among employers, people with disabilities,' <br /> volunteer members of the President's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped and <br /> O community agencies in a year-round effort to achieve maximum employment of people <br /> with disabilities. <br /> Specifically, the observance has three objectives: <br /> To express appreciation to employers who have established outstanding <br /> programs and records of, hiring people with disabilities. <br /> To encourage those employers who have not hired a worker with a <br /> disability to look at the abilities, not disabilities. <br /> 0 To salute the achievements of people with disabilities who are contri- <br /> buting to their communities- and to society through their jobs. - <br /> We hope you will join our efforts by issuing a proclamation identifying <br /> the first week of October as Employ the Handicapped Week in Hillsborough . We will <br /> be sharing your support in -this effort with local media and hope to highlight one of <br /> our succesfully working citizens who happens also to be disabled. In the year to come, <br /> we will be promoting greater understanding of 'the barriers faced by persons with <br /> disabilities and how accessibility and opportunities for all people make good sense. <br /> An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer • <br /> - - _ <br />
