Hello all,

I am coordinating interpreter and SSP volunteers for Columbus Speech and Hearing's DeafBlind Zoo Day on Sunday, June 9. We need lots of volunteers throughout the day, so please consider volunteering. I am hoping to have lots of ASL and IEP students volunteer and will need as many experienced SSPs and interpreters as possible to assist in supporting students. The flyer is attached, and the link to the sign-up form is here: https://forms.office.com/r/hRUy6kShbg. Please share with anyone you know who might be interested! Thanks!

Thanks to those of you that expressed an interest in volunteering or attending our event at Luther's Farm on Saturday, October 21st. We've been keeping a close eye on the weather in Richfield, and as of now it's looking pretty good. According to the Weather Channel, the rain should move out of Richfield by mid-morning, with an afternoon high of 54 degrees. It sounds like a crisp and cloudy fall day, so dress warm and bring your umbrella just in case! See you at the farm :)
