Director's Report

There are a lot of things that happen in March.  I would like to share that March 13-April 15 is known as Deaf History Month.  This is different from Deaf Culture Week where Deaf Culture Week is more about awareness and education.  Deaf History month is more historical events related to being Deaf that have occurred.  To learn more about these events please read later in this issue. 

March 22 is also known as Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor Appreciation Day.  I would like to take this time and hope you will also join me in showing our Appreciation for all the great work that the VRC’s do and continue to do.  To learn more about these events please read later in this issue.
