Los Angeles Chapter Celebrates 20 Years with a Joyous Holiday Party
The Los Angeles Chapter marked a significant milestone this holiday season by celebrating its 20th anniversary with a festive gathering that brought together over 50 members and guests. Held at the beautiful home of Heather and Frank, the event combined the spirit of the holidays with a heartfelt tribute to two decades of supporting the local hearing loss community
Honoring Two Decades of Dedication
Chapter presidents – Heather, Wendi (current), Valerie, and Malik.
The party celebrated past presidents, notable chapter members, supportive families, and our 2024-25 Young Adult Ambassador. Collectively, the gathering was perfect to honor the chapter’s rich history and its contributions over the years. Everyone who attended underscored the enduring impact of the chapter’s work and its ability to foster a sense of belonging and purpose within the hearing loss community.
Festive Fun and Fellowship

The holiday party was filled with joy and laughter, thanks in part to a series of raffles that kept the excitement alive throughout the evening. Guests also participated in a lively white elephant gift exchange, which added a playful and unpredictable twist to the festivities.
The gorgeous weather complemented the warm and inviting atmosphere for everyone, making it the perfect setting for this memorable celebration. So much good company, fun activities, and beautiful surroundings created an unforgettable experience for everyone in attendance.
Looking Ahead
As the Los Angeles Chapter reflects on 20 years of accomplishments, it also looks forward to continuing its mission and building on its legacy. The anniversary holiday party was not just a celebration of the past but also an inspiring reminder of the bright future ahead.
