DBC Rally at the Crown Plaza in Milpitas
As a hearing mom, I attended the DBC Rally on Saturday, March 22, 2008 to support my Deaf daughter’s passionate response to the AG Bell Conference on Saturday. How could DBC make a positive impact with this organization for the future of Deaf children? What could the Deaf community do??? The response from the Deaf Community and their family and friends, was awesome! They gathered together…. babies to grandparents and everyone in between….hands flying ….. drums beating…..horns honking ….. children laughing…..friends hugging…….people COMMUNICATING, using ASL! It was a beautiful day. I just hope the folks attending the Conference were able to “get it” and saw that communication isn’t just verbal, but visual as well. ASL IS “bilingual” and everyone CAN speak.

Thank you Mom/Kathy for your support/family that day & ever since! Especially for being open minded and open heart in exploring communication options and discovering that ASL was and still is the RIGHT way to go!

Your daughter is so blessed to have you! And vice versa!

From one hearing mom to another……..Nothing can ever top seeing with your own eyes the closeness, the interaction, and the communication all through the bonds of ASL and knowing that our Deaf children and our own hearing families are welcome with open arms into this wonderful community of people.
