FROM THE PRESIDENTS DESK:
Due to the winter weather we experienced in February we have
re-scheduled the statewide chapter meeting to April 11, 2015 from 10:00 until
2:00. We welcome all families of
children who are Deaf/or Hard of Hearing and professionals to the meeting. The event will be held in the East Campus
building at Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
We have stipends of $50 to offer to those that are traveling more than
50 miles to attend the meeting in order to assist with travel expenses. The central and northwest Arkansas meetings
have been combined to one statewide chapter meeting. Childcare will be available. Please register by April 7, 2015 by
texting/calling 501-932-7700 or emailing info@arhandsandvoices.org. Please refer to the event flyer for
additional information.
We would also like to remind everyone to please register
with the Kroger Community Rewards program.
After you register and link your Kroger card to Soundstart Arkansas
Hands & Voices you will be earning free money for the organization every
time you shop. Nothing will be deducted
from your personal Kroger rewards. We
will have a drawing for a $25 Kroger gift card during the statewide
meeting. In order to be eligible for the
drawing, bring a Kroger receipt with you to the meeting that lists Soundstart
Arkansas Hands & Voices as your community reward program at the bottom or
sign up at the meeting. Please refer to
the enclosed flyer for additional information.
We would also like to encourage everyone to sign up/renew
membership in Arkansas Hands & Voices.
Having up to date contact information is important in passing along
information related to upcoming events, etc.
If you choose to be a paying member, know your membership dues help
support the events put on throughout the year.
You will also receive the newsletter distributed by the Hands &
Voices Headquarters staff. If the
membership dues are burdensome to your family, we completely understand and
would like for you to check scholarship and know that we still want to have
your contact information in order to keep your family informed about upcoming
events, etc. The membership flyer is below. If you would like a flyer mailed to you, click the link above.
Thank you very much and we look forward to seeing you guys
in April!!
