Note from Alicia
Hi Friends!
Hope you can all scroll through our photos. Sorry I did not get everyone, but it was definitely a group effort! We had a blast. We also came back with the same amount of stuff as we dropped off. We shopped till we dropped! Full car. Good taste people who donated.

Hearing Loss Tips
Face Me
This slideshow provides helpful information, which we all probably know, but offers so good reminders to help ourselves and others effectively communicate with each other. Hearing loss should not be a battle to communicate!
Many good tips for friends and family!

Also to note. Things are looking up. The FCC Has a brand new committee, called The Disability Advisory Committee, with two of our people on it. Richard Ray from Los Angeles and Lise Hamlin from National HLAA. Richard Ray will be speaking soon to our chapter so a wish list for him would be nice!
