Those of you
who reside in Southern California and sometimes attend JDCC events will notice new changes
being gradually made. JDCC, as a community service organization, relies on volunteerism to
carry out its projects. The need for help from people in the community was discussed
during a JDCC panel discussion last year and some ideas were proposed by participants to
divide and spread responsibilities among different people. In the past year, however,
there has been no increase in people taking up additional responsibilities.
JDCC is now exploring ways of having other organizations take up activities and services. JDCC would focus more on its national role through publication of JDCC News and its website and provide support for, but no longer coordinate, services and activities locally. We think that this is the best option because the same people cannot continue to carry the bulk of the tasks indefinitely with no, or very little, help from others.
What's Coming UpJDCC will be participating at Deaf Expo '99 in San Diego, California on Sunday only, November 21st. We will have a booth and need help to run the booth. Adam Stone has agreed to be the coordinator of this booth. To volunteer your time, please contact JDCC. For more information on Deaf Expo '99, please go to EFTC web site. This Issue
