A Message from the DAD President
October 7 , 2008
Hello DAD Members and Friends,
Some of you attended HAVA, Helping America Vote Act of 2002, on Sep.
19, which was presented by DARS. If you desire to learn more about
this voting process, please do click the following website;

. That video was sent to me at the courtesy of Crazy Tech, Texas
Association of the Deaf and Tracey Michol.
At our last General Members meeting, I was thrilled to learn that we
have over 300 members! That’s nearly three times more than when I
first joined DAD back in 2005!
I thank every one of you for joining and I do hope you will continue
your membership for many more years. I feel it is important for us,
Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Hearing individuals, to continue showing our
support to ANY Deaf/HOH organization/club. That’s where we can meet,
share, grow and learn from each other.
I have been here in Wisconsin for past few months and I continue at
my best with communicating with the DAD officers and board members
about what’s happening. It’s a blessing we have pagers, emails,
and videophones!
I want to emphasize to you all, “I DO MISS YOU and DAD very
much!!” I have wondered, on many weekends, “how is DAD doing
and/or how did the program/event go?” I do have some guilt feeling
for disappearing which was quite unexpected by many of us.
I served three wonderful years as one of the Officers of DAD. Let me
share this with you; To run any organization is not an one person
show, it takes a TEAM of officers, board and committees. To make an
organization looking so good is to have SEVERAL PEOPLE working
together. I encourage you, DAD Members, to come to our next General
Meeting because we will have Election on Oct. 24 @ 7:30PM. We need a
TEAM to keep DAD going STRONG and BEAUITFUL!
Living here in Wisconsin, we have already hit the autumn season due
to the temperatures dropping to 50’s-60’s. Of course, our leaves
are turning in beautiful colors. Brrrrrrrrr, I had to run out and buy
myself some winter clothes because I didn’t have any after living in
the nice warm autumn/winters=2 0in TX! No more Capris for me until it
warm up again. How I envy you Texans!
I do want to give many thanks to Cindi Nagy, Secretary, who has
resumed one of my duties, which is filling the weekends up with
various programs/events. There are some exciting events, which you may
want to attend, at least one if not all of them. I also appreciate
Marianne Sasseen, who has been taking a larger step in the Presidency
role, several times, Kent Reneau, Maxine Satarino and Preston Ashley,
Sr. for ensuring DAD is running in order; as well as, Laura
Lemmon-Moore, Ken Seabolt and Susan Lane. Also appreciate David
Normand continuing his duties at the bar.
And I know at this time of the year we become busy with the
children’s school activities and the Christmas shopping, in between.
I do want to let you know that DAD is having a couple of events, where
children may attend. They are the Halloween Party, Oct. 25th, and The
Winter Holiday Party for the Children, Dec 20th. Then we will have a
Winter Bazaar where you can shop for a few things at one place, Nov.
15th!
