If you know ASL and can communicate with the Deaf\/Blind\/HOH please
\nconsider attending this meeting in being an advocate for the
\nDeaf\/Blind\/HOH in your area. No certification or license to
\ncommunicate is necessary; just a willing heart and desire to be a
\nbridge for positive change between the Deaf and Hearing Communities.
\nCriminal Background checks will be done in compliance to any laws or
\nrules. If you are doing nothing with the ASL you learned, it’s time to
\npick up those hands and make them beneficial for those around you in
\nyour neighborhoods and you will be learning as well. You should know
\nthe gift you have is desperately in need. Advocacy is about
\nencouraging others to excel, to do better, to rise above the
\nimpossible and see that all things are possible. While you are
\nencouraging, you will be encouraged. Your involvement could possibly
\nbe reading with children, youth or interpreting for a small group. You
\nmay find some places to practice your ASL skills of interpreting and
\nbuild on that with a small team to encourage you. Advocates are needed
\nto read to children, Interpret at Women’s non-profit events and more.
\nIf you are interested respond by email by sending your name, interest,
\navailabilty, to meet June 23rd at the Arlington Public Library.
\nLimited seating is available (20)<\/p>\n
