Hi guys!
I'm very pleased to announce that I have awesome support from local deaf community here in Michigan. I have two fundraising events set up in the month of November.

One is a bowling fundraiser sponsored by PowerVRS, which is a deaf-owned local VRS business. You can see the flyer in the previous post. It'll be on November 21st, on a Sunday, starting at 1 PM! $25 dollars will include: rental shoes, two games, two slices of pizza, soda. There will be 50/50 raffles and prizes as well. This will be at:
Collier Lanes

Oxford, MI


The second one is a pasta lunch sponsored by St. John's Deaf Center. It'll be on November 13th, on a Saturday, from Noon until 5pm. $20 dollars will include: Italian casserole, hot lunch, salad, dessert, drinks, card games and 50/50 raffles. This will be at:
