stack-up cream

Sharon's cat, Cream, has become a sort-of unofficial mascot for our chapter of Stack-Up.
It happened because, through the summer, the Friends of Cunningham Park (a local civic group that focuses on the local park had a series of evening events in the park -- movies, plays, concerts and the like. We go to a lot of them and set up an informational table. We got permission to do so from the leadership of FoCP, One local politician told us we don't technically need permission. First amendment and all. Fact is, we don't need permission. We know that. But if we're setting up our table right by someone else's event, it seems only right to ask permission -- especially since we want to have a good working relationship with FoCP.

Anway, We've been bringing Cream. He clearly like to get time outdoors -- we've been taking him out onto the lawn ever since we first realized that he's blind, and he likes the fresh air. Because he's blind, he doesn;t try to run away, so sticks with us. He'll pad around slowly, but as long as we keep with him there's no problem.

And, with his Stack-Up shirt, he's the belle of the ball. Kids come up to pet him, which lets us talk to the parents . And he seems to love being pet.

The most recent such event is described on Stack-Up's website, here.
