A MESSAGE FROM THE DALLAS ASSOCIATION OF THE DEAF PRESIDENT:
12/10/07
Hello Members and Friends of DAD;
December has finally arrived and I did very little bit shopping as I
wasn’t sure if or how my husband and I would travel to Wisconsin. The
airfares and gas prices are both very unnecessary high prices;
especially, at this time of the year. Then just last week I finally
found a good price airfare for both my husband and I to fly to
Chicago (which is an hour and half from my family hometown).
I most certainly hope for those who need to fly are able to find a
good deal on airfare deal like we did.
I do want to thank Maxine Satarino for hosting DAD 2nd Thanksgiving
Dinner a few weeks ago. We had a real nice gathering, folks brought a
variety of pot luck food, and we all had a great chat among our Deaf,
hard of hearing, and hearing friends.
Many of you know that I am a true Green Bay Packers fan! Dang it!
Those Dallas Cowboys had their day against my team. Brett Favre sure
got up and showed his best yesterday against the Oakland Raiders (yes
I wish this happened a couple weeks ago). DAD wants to thank SPRINT
for sponsoring this event at DAD by providing the food. The proceeds
went to support the DAD building fund.
Last Saturday DAD had the annual Christmas Ornament and Craft party
and many of us enjoyed winning or bidding on many of the pretty
Christmas crafts which were either donated or made by the Christmas
Ornament and Craft committee. Also more pot luck food were shared. A
big thanks go to Donna Lide for chairing this year’s successful
event.
SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT SOME UPCOMING EVENTS AT DAD:
December 14th – Friday: the ‘Kick Off’ party, on the 14th, has been
cancelled,
December 15th – Saturday: the most exciting event before Christmas is
this coming Saturday, which is our annual Christmas dinner, right
before CINGO.

– It will cost $15 for those who show up at door to eat and also
want to play CINGO. If you decide just to participate only for CINGO,
come at 8:00 pm and the admission remains the same, $10.00.
Also the Winter Holiday party for the Children 50-50 Raffle drawing
will occur, in between CINGO.
December 22nd – Saturday: a Winter Holiday Party for Children. I must
compliment the Winter Holiday Party for Children committee for their
wonderful, year long, planning for this wonderful event. Larry
Campero, who’s the chair of this event, tells me that he is amazed at
how many people have donated money and toys for the children.
Also DAD is fortunate to be one of the five recipients, from the
Cheerleading Competition, which occurred yesterday at University of
North Texas. They gave DAD a lot of toys for our children.
If you have a Deaf child(ren) and/or a hearing child(ren) who is
related to a Deaf adult, please do sign them up. Just send the
child(ren) name, age and sex to [email protected]
, ASAP. Each child will get more than one GIFT!
DAD also asks that each parent or guardian to bring a dozen cookies.
Please see the flyer for more information:

DAD also wishes to recognize and thank CSDVRS for providing some toys
too.
December 31st, Tuesday: And our last party of 2007, but not the
least, is our annual NEW YEAR’S EVE party! Cindi Nagy and Kent Reneau
are co-chairing the upcoming big event.
