Hi Readers!
Barry Strassler has informed us that due to great demand for his time with his electronic news service, Deaf Digest, he is unable to continue as columnist with JDCC News. He has been writing for three years and we are sorry to see him leave. We thank Barry for his wonderful columns and wish him the best of luck.
The JDCC Mini Chanukah Carnival was a success - see more info on page 17. We donated remaining hot dogs and chips to TRIPOD, a pre-school program for deaf and hearing children nearby for their last day of school before the Holidays.
An article on JDCC appeared on the front cover of the Mining Co Guide's homepage to 'Deafness/Hard of Hearing' on the intemet in December. They also listed information on the Jewish Deaf Community. You can see it at http://deafness.miningco.com/ - (under the week of 12/05/98).
We have very exciting plans for Passover and the High Holidays! We will use a karaoke style multimedia approach during JDCC's Passover Community Seder on the first evening, March 31st. Reserve the date. We will mail invitations shortly! We also will have special guests lead Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services this year. More information will be announced after the Seder! If you are interested in being on the Passover or High Holiday Committee, please contact us.
