Texas Hands & Voices Training Retreat 2010
Texas Hands & Voices is having a PAL (Parents as Leaders) Training Retreat
in the Corpus Christi area on Friday January 29 – Sunday January 31, 2010.
We currently have registration open until January 13th. You are either a
Parent or family member of a child that has a hearing loss that might be
interested in attending or know other parents that might be interested or
are a professional that works with families that have children with hearing
loss. This is a great opportunity for parents to “get away” away for the
weekend, learn, relax and socialize with other parents. (see below for full
details)
Please pass this on to anyone that you might think would be interested. We
are staying at a wonderful camp, Camp Aranzazu on the Gulf Coast. The $40
registration covers housing and food for the weekend and all materials being
provided during the training. There are also scholarships available for the
registration and travel that can be applied for through the registration
form.
Thank you for you time,
