I&#8217;ve<br \/>\nheard several rumors in the past three weeks, but they have all been<br \/>\nfalse, so I am now starting some TRUE rumors. <\/p>\n<p>1) Jesus Lutheran Church of the Deaf is NOT moving. We have been at<br \/>\nthis location across from TSD since 1958, it is paid off and debt<br \/>\nfree. We are NOT moving and we are NOT closing. We&#8217;ll be here for a<br \/>\nlong, long time. This is the BEST location for a Deaf church and we<br \/>\nhave a fantastic neighbor right across the street, so here we will<br \/>\nremain. <\/p>\n<p>2) Child Protective Services (CPS) has NOT told us that we can&#8217;t have<br \/>\na child care. They did offer to help us become licensed if we wanted<br \/>\nto become a full day child care, but we told them no, we don&#8217;t want to<br \/>\nbecome a full day child care. A child care center must be licensed if<br \/>\nthey have more than 6 children and operate more than 4 hours a day.<br \/>\nOur child care did not meet those requirements, so we didn&#8217;t need a<br \/>\nlicense. We decided to drop the child care and start the<br \/>\ntutoring\/homework program because it will be better for the child and<br \/>\nthe family. <\/p>\n<p>3) We are NOT canceling our youth programs on Wednesdays and<br \/>\nThursdays. We will continue to offer programs for Elementary, Middle<br \/>\nSchool and High School students. Parents and TSD staff are always<br \/>\nencouraged to attend and\/or volunteer. <\/p>\n<p>4) We will NOT stop supporting and defending TSD. Since our ministry<br \/>\nstarted in 1931, Jesus Lutheran Church of the Deaf has been proud of<br \/>\nTSD and the job they do. We see that the administration, faculty and<br \/>\nstaff work hard to teach and protect the Deaf children put in their<br \/>\ncare, and for that we are thankful and we will continue to do all we<br \/>\ncan to work with them, defend them and support them. <\/p>\n<p>5) Jesus Lutheran Church of the Deaf will continue to offer Parents&#8217;<br \/>\nNight Out on one Friday per month from 6:00 PM until midnight. We<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t offer them during the summer because we can&#8217;t get volunteers<br \/>\nfrom UT ASL classes, but now that school is starting again, we will<br \/>\nsoon announce our first Parents&#8217; Night Out for this school year. <\/p>\n<p>6) I am NOT running for Miss Deaf Texas! I am a guy, I am not pretty,<br \/>\nI am not young. Actually this is not a rumor I have heard, but I<br \/>\nfigure if you have read this far, you could use a smile &#8211; so smile! <\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions or hear any other juicy rumors, don&#8217;t<br \/>\nhesitate to contact me at MarkJLCD@AOL.com<br \/>\n. <\/p>\n<p>If you have no idea who I am and what this is about, and you want to<br \/>\nbe removed from my mailing list, please forgive me and let me know. I<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t want to bother you. <\/p>\n<p>God bless you! <\/p>\n<p>Pastor Mark Seeger<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>BETTER IP RELAY &#8211; EVERYWHERE! i711.com makes all your relay calls better.<br \/>\nBetter web calls.
