The Cane on the Floor

a tripping hazard

I am a member of a the Rotary Club of Coeur d’Alene with weekly meetings on Friday at noon. Last Friday I noticed that Jack was at the meeting with a walking cane. The banquet room was full and Jack’s cane was on the floor. Now this is a common occurrence in public places but it presents two problems. First a cane on the floor presents a tripping hazard for servers and other dining guests. The second issue is that the floor is the place with the most germs. So at the end of the lunch meeting I took Jack’s cane and snapped it into a Cane Companion and demonstrated it’s usefulness. He recognized the value and helpfulness right away! Think of the many people we know that can benefit from something so simple and useful.
