A Message from the DAD President, Cathy Edler-Ashley:
Hello Members and Friends of DAD,
The month of May is already here and, beyond our imagination, our
weather HAS BEEN SO NICE so far!
Even though I have lived in Dallas for more than three years, I just
am not too fond of the heat! This cool fresh air certainly helps me
breathe well.
Last month, when Mike Houston, with Deaf Link, gave a presentation
about Accessible Hazard Alert System (AHAS) at DAD, it was a wonderful
learning experience for us all to find out the various ways on how to
alert Deaf people during emergency situations.
Some of you watched ASL Films “Forget Me Not” movie and met one of
the Deaf actors, Theron Parker. FYI: Theron is returning to Dallas and
will do one-man performance, “UNCUT ASL” on May 10th at 7:00pm. I need
to inform those who plan to attend that you would have to be 18 years
old or older. If under 18 then he/she would need to be accompanied by
one or both of his/her parents.
I learned that the ‘Ladies Night’ was a great turn out, and I MISSED
IT! Dang it. I know that we ladies want to have more poker fun nights
again soon. Keep your eyes peeled for the next ‘LADIES NIGHT’ date.
Hey! We are having a Family Movie Night, May 23rd, Friday! Dads, Moms
and children (hearing or Deaf) are more than welcome to come to watch
the captioned “The Bee Movie” at 7:00pm. It’s a great opportunity to
meet other Deaf/hearing parents and children as well. Contact
[email protected]
if you have any questions.
fyi: the new Senior Citizens met together a couple weeks ago and all
agreed the need to set up new guidelines to ensure all agree the same
future plans and goals. Their next gathering will be on May 24th,
10:00 am to 4:00 pm. For more information please contact Susan Lane
([email protected]
) who was selected as the Senior Citizens chairperson.
Ready for some exciting news? The Deaf Happy Hour (DHH) has scheduled
their next gathering at our clubhouse! It’ll be on May 24th. Ronnie
Smith, the new chairperson, and I are looking forward to make this a
great, successful, & fun evening!
SCRAPBOOKERS and STAMPERS, mark your calendar, May 31st, for our
third gathering! Check our calendar in near future for more details.
