 The
Brainerd Noon Sertoman welcomed a CLC student, Sara Kabes, who
made a presentation about Deaf Awareness Days which will be held
at the college March 27-28. The Expo is a two day event that
gives attendees the opportunity to learn about Deaf culture
through a wide variety of hands on information booths including
hearing dog demonstrations, deaf/blind simulations and many
more. The seminars on Saturday are open to teachers, emergency
service personnel, medical professionals, community service
workers, day care providers of the general public. Cost of the
seminars includes the dinner and entertainment Saturday night.
CJ Jones, an international known deaf entertainer who has been
delighting deaf and hearing audiences young and old with his
unique style of visual imagery and storytelling is scheduled to
appear. Along with him is the Wild Zappers, an all Deaf male
dance company. Sarah is a sign language interpreter from the St.
Paul area. She is a member of PAH , the Central Lakes American
Sign Language Club. PAH is a grammatical marker in ASL and is
synonymous with success" in Deaf Culture. She also showed a
video from a previous activity that gave our members a chance to
see some of the demonstrations and to meet Miss Deaf Awareness
Minnesota. If you would like more information about this

Schedule |
|
Remember: Greeters (Be sure to take care of your duties
that include meeting people at the door and getting the ticket
money counted and divided with half going to Tami to give away
and half to Diane for the social committee's budget). As greeter you have several duties. You need to
arrive about 10 minutes early. It is your job to greet people,
help them find their badges and sell them a ticket if they wish
to participate. The money collected must be divided by the
Greeters equally--half goes to the Club Treasurer (Diane Rook
Johnson) and half goes to the Club President along with the
bucket of tickets. Be there
by 11:45 and call somebody if you can't. Call Jeff Birks @
820-5544 if you can't make it.

|
Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip
around the sun every year. |
|
|
|
How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door
you're on. |
|
|
|
Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you
live. |
|
|
|
Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open. |
|
|
|
Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jollier
than the people who have to wait for them? |
|
|
|
Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us. |
|
|
|
If Wal-Mart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing is free
yet? |
|
|
|
You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the
world to one person. |
|

|
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once. |
|
|
|
Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened. |

|
We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are
pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are
different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same
box. |

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a
detour. |

The FAS Program was designed to encourage people to read the newsletter. Even those who attend the meeting can benefit from reviewing the announcements etc. If you find the letters FAS followed by your name, you must call the number provided and just leave a message that you called and attend the next meeting to collect your money. Simple--however 90% of the people never respond.
