Again the organization and staff are deeply grateful for your support and the example you set for other organizations serving the deaf community.” Rudolph Gawlik, Board President
Dear SLA, We, Deaf-REACH staff and members, want to thank you for your generous donations for Christmas. Several group home members expressed their joy and appreciation when they received and opened their presents from your agency. They got the right size for shoes and clothes. They took pictures of their presents with excitement. They were surprised to see their beautifully wrapped gifts. Their friends and members were impressed with the quality of gifts. We cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity. Sincerely, Dora Tin
- The Community College of Baltimore County/Catonsville: “It has been our pleasure to work with you and many of the fine interpreters at SLA who have mentored our students throughout the last fifteen years. Together we are working to prepare the most qualified interpreters for this area.” Sandra Brown, Coordinator Interpreter Training Program
- Northern Virginia Resource Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Persons (NVRC): “We are honored to have this level of support from SLA, for as you know it ensures that NVRC can continue and expand the many programs we offer to help empower deaf and hard of hearing individuals and their families through education, advocacy and community involvement.” Cheryl Heppner, Executive Director
