Forum on the Interagency Council of Services of Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Deaf/Blind
I got this from Dean DeRusso, my colleague and office mate:
Hi everyone,
Do you all remember the Interagency Council of Services of Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Deaf/Blind in New York State? It’s still there and still needs your help.
At Regional Center of Independent Living office of 497 State Street, Rochester NY, there will be a General Public Forum where the Chairperson Gary O’Brien and his staff will be in Rochester, NY on October 16, 2007, from 3 to 5 pm.
They will be voicing their future with this new Council, and they would like to hear what people from around the state would want from this service. It’s important that you attend this forum and tell them what you want and feel that New York State needs. It will help them understand the needs of the deaf community all over New York State.
Remember, your voice will show them why this bill is important for all of us and why they need to appoint the correct 8 people to run this group.
Please reserve that time slot and RSVP that you will be at this meeting. I would like to know how many are comming. So, that way the visit of the Chairperson and his staff will be worth their visit. Please keep your schedule open and be there!
Thank you,
Dean DeRusso
