Deaf Advocacy Now!

September 19, 2012
6:00 pmto7:30 pm

Just sending out a friendly reminder that our September meeting is this month on September 19, 2012 from 6:00pm-7:30pm.  This is a time for you to come together and basically form a “Take Action” group.  We will be discussing YOUR concerns that you have regarding accessibility in the community and also a time to socialize with other deaf and hard of hearing in the community.

 

Please let me know if you need any type of accommodations prior to the meeting by September 13, 2012.

 

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you all there!  Bring a friend or two.  The more the merrier!
