Texoma Council for the Deaf Newsletter
Sherman/Denison, Texas
August 2007
The weather started to get HOT (over 100 degrees) but less rain. The
water level started to lower back to normal. Most docks are open now
for boats. We have seen many frogs all over the place this year. Hope
everyone kept cool in the shade or in the pool or stayed inside the
house. School already started now. Hope the parents were prepared for
the kids to get supplies, clothes and a sleep schedule before school
started. Hope everyone enjoyed the summer.
We are very excited to announce that we finally finished our website
on August 10th. Our website is now open – surf at
http://www.texomadeafclub.org
. We also have a new email address at [email protected]
. We will continue to use our email address at
[email protected]
for a while until everyone learns the new address. Hope you enjoy
surfing our website. Our History in the website menu is still under
construction. Please be sure to check our TCD website periodically!
We would appreciate it if you would please send us any comments about
our website. After one week, we had almost 500 visitors on our
website. We received few comments by emails to tell us how wonderful
website is designed. It is very hard to believe that people surfed
our website so often already. We really worked very hard to make our
website better and improved.
Our Social Night Wanted: Dead or Alive party was very successful and
everyone had a great time. Children seemed to enjoy playing games
such as the donkey, tic tac toe, gold coin treasure, and jail. Scott,
the sheriff, arrested some of adults and children and put them in the
jail. We had jail free passes for someone to pay $1 per person to get
someone out of the jail. We earned pretty good money for jail passes.
We received some wonderful comments that we had the best decorations.
Scott, Charles and Lynn Randolph made the Wanted Poster. Scott and
Charles Randolph also made the terrific jail. You will see them in
our gallery under the theme Wanted: Dead or Alive. We had 2 judges
choose the winners for the Best Western Costumes. Third place winner
was Deborah Young, who received La Colinas Restaurant gift
certificate; Second place winner was Scott Randolph, who received a
$25 Dillards gift certificate; and First place winner was Dan
Cunningham, who received a complimentary one-night stay to include a
standard guest room and continental breakfast at Holiday Inn Express.
Mechelle William was chosen to be the best costume for the children
and received $20 Toy R Us Gift Certificate. Congratulations to the
winners. We thank the judges for doing the voting on the best
costumes. We had more people attend this event than last month. WOW!
We are very pleased about that.
We want to thank Shelia Bills and Lynn Randolph for shopping to buy
western decorations and getting more gift certificates. They worked
very hard and deserved the compliments or applauses.
Just friendly reminders: the meeting will be held in the Denison room
at the Stone Bridge Hotel in Sherman on September 7th at 7 p.m. We
will provide a free beverage, and everyone is asked to bring a food
dish to share for the potluck during the meeting. Please mark it on
your calendar for September.
We will be hosting a Social Night Game Night on September 8th at 7
p.m. at the Stone Bridge Hotel in Sherman. We will be playing games
and the bar should be open to sell beer and wine next month. People
of any age are welcome with their families to a Social Night. If a
person wins, the money will be split in half, one-half goes to the
winner and one-half goes to TCD fund. We will sell the raffle tickets
for $5.00 for the door prizes and the door prizes will be surprised at
the Social Night. Please check our Game Night flyer on our website,
