Season&#8217;s Greetings! Merry Christmas! <\/p>\n<p>Surprise ! Surprise ! &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; Paris, Texas ( East Texas ) Red River<br \/>\nfor the Deaf <\/p>\n<p>We would like to tell you the Good News about Paris, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Before we tell you about this one, look at the Texas Map, North of<br \/>\nDallas North East. People who lived in the far East of Texas too far<br \/>\nto come to Dallas for any deaf activities. Some of them did not have<br \/>\nany car, or not enough money for gas to drive a long way to come to<br \/>\nDallas for activities. Some of them did not have computers, pagers,<br \/>\nor videophones and some did not know where other deaf people lived.<br \/>\nWe would like to have deaf people who want to come out to the deaf<br \/>\ncommunity around in East Texas. That&#8217;s why they can come and enjoy<br \/>\nmeeting new deaf friends and people. <\/p>\n<p>Yesterday a &#8221; baby &#8221; was born to the Red River\/Northeast Texas<br \/>\ncommunity, which has not yet been named. We had 21 people in<br \/>\nattendance and that was a great beginning. Most of them came from<br \/>\nwithin an hours drive and a few drive even further. It was a<br \/>\nbeautiful and warm day on December 1, 2007 and we were very exciting<br \/>\nfor them to come. <\/p>\n<p>They had many things to discuss about our new deaf club in the area<br \/>\nof Paris northeast of Texas. We might have to re-name our new club,<br \/>\nbecause they have yet to decide on a new name for the club. They will<br \/>\nbring up new names in the next general meeting in January 2008. We<br \/>\nwill give them time to decide and how they feel and who will be our<br \/>\nnew officers for the New Club. We will just meet and play a little<br \/>\nbit and get to know each other better before electing officers. We<br \/>\nmay have a new idea also for a logo for the club. We hope that those<br \/>\nwho attended the first meeting will spread the word to other deaf<br \/>\npeople in other areas and communities to come to the deaf club. We<br \/>\nwill also have ideas on how to get contributions and other funding if<br \/>\nneeded in order to support the new deaf club. <\/p>\n<p>We would like to thank the following people: <\/p>\n<p>Richard and Carol Wagner &#8212; we would like to thank you for allowing<br \/>\nus to use your place or space to have our general meetings and<br \/>\nactivities. That was the perfect place to use for the deaf club and<br \/>\nthe room, it was huge. <\/p>\n<p>Christine Kamal &#8212; we would like to thank you for helping us with the<br \/>\nnewsletter grammar and she is a very helpful person. <\/p>\n<p>Michelle Baker &#8212; we would like to thank you for volunteering and<br \/>\ninterpreting in our deaf club. We were very pleased to have you<br \/>\nthere.<\/p>\n<p>Melissa Bell (DHSS, DARS) &#8212; we would like to thank you for<br \/>\nadvertising the information to your clients about our new deaf club.<br \/>\nWe really appreciate it. <\/p>\n<p>We look forward to see everyone at our next general meeting, and<br \/>\nhopefully we will have more deaf people and new faces. Don&#8217;t forget<br \/>\nto bring your potluck at the next general meeting. On January 5, 2008<br \/>\nat 2 p.m., we will have our 2nd general meeting. Please come. Please<br \/>\nspread the word through the grapevines. <\/p>\n<p>Here is an example of what you can bring for the potluck so that we<br \/>\nwill not need to use the microwave or any other equipment. Example: (<br \/>\nfinger foods ) Chips and dip, Vegetable tray, Fruit tray, ham and<br \/>\ncrackers tray, sandwich club tray, soda and water other finger food<br \/>\nsnacks. <\/p>\n<p>If you want to come to our next general meeting, email me and I will<br \/>\nsend you the directions how to get to our new deaf club on January 5,<br \/>\n2008 at 2:00 p.m. Here is our email redriveraks@aol.com<br \/>\n<mailto :redriveraks@aol.com><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>BETTER IP RELAY &#8211; EVERYWHERE! i711.com makes all your relay calls better.<br \/>\nBetter web calls.
