Please Join our Next Chapter Meeting – Finding Hope
“We have all been impacted by the wildfires. Let’s talk about it”
Date: Saturday, January 25, 2025
Time: 10 a.m.
Where: Zoom (RSVP below)
Note: Due to the unfortunate events from the LA fires, we have revised the theme of this meeting to focus on supporting our members and community. If you previously registered, no further action is needed.
Join us for information and conversation. We will be sharing what resources we have uncovered for the HOH community followed by an opportunity to connect and reconnect with our members and friends. Our rap session will allow us to share our thoughts, concerns, and experiences with others. Most of us have never experienced anything like this before. This is an opportunity to be supported and supportive. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday and please forward the invitation to those in need.
Note: You will receive an email from the Los Angeles Chapter with the meeting link. Please check your spam if you don’t see it.

A big shout-out to Tim Browning for setting up the loop system and Wendi Washington for leading the insightful discussion, and to everyone who shared their personal hearing loss stories. This gathering was a true example of what it means to find strength and connection within a community of caring individuals.
Our HOPE meetings are always a safe space where we can share experiences, offer support, and provide valuable information. We are all on our unique hearing loss journey, but through these shared stories, we find understanding and solidarity in each other’s struggles, triumphs, and growth. Thank you to all who attended for your openness with those who get it. And, of course, a special mention to the delicious spread of food—because who doesn’t love a good bite during Halloween month (with no calories, of course!)? We are grateful for each and every one of you. ❤️
