\nJune 2007, here is a list of activities for your interest: <\/p>\n

\n Had a board meeting on Sep, 16 at TSD.
\n Attended Region III on Oct. 13 in Tulsa, OK
\n Donated $1000 to TSD Jr. NAD for conf expenses
\n Donated $300 to TSD Middle School for calculators
\n Started to plan for National Leadership Training Conference with NAD
\nand TSD
\n Sent representatives to SA DAW and CC DAW
\n Evans flew to El Paso to discuss issues there
\n Sponsored Cinema Showcase in Seguin on Nov. 9 & 10

In the meantime, TAD Executive Board kept in touch with each other on
\na weekly basis via emails, VP and in person. Issues and problems are
\npresented to TAD board that we quickly addressed in different ways.
\nFor example: When FCC sent out important policy decisions related to
\nVRS, we exchanged our feedback with each other. At any rate, we
\nexpect to be busier in 2008, due to NLTC, the NAD Conference and
\nother events as well as a myriad of activities. <\/p>\n

TAD Board continues to justify their mission and goals as stated in
\nour newsletter and website. Go to http:\/\/www.deaftexas.org
