What an incredible day!  May 15th was our workshop "Shhh, Let's talk dirty!", held at AB School for the Deaf in their beautiful Sunroom.  There was a great turn out with Deaf community members, teachers, student Interpreters, recent graduates and experienced Interpreters involved.  Everyone brought forward valuable discussion and learning in a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere... and... well... may I add... the food that was brought in for the pot-luck was simply amazing!
 
I would like to send out a special thank you to all of you who attended and shared your time with us!  Extra special thanks go out to Tracy Hetman, Connor Yuzwenko-Martin and Amber Schultz for their added support, and to Laurie Ann Wheeler for donating our "Door Prize".  Also, a very big thank you to AB School for the Deaf for the use of their Sunroom for the event.
 
The $150.00 raised at the event will be donated to support AVLIC 2012.
 
Please stay tuned for the announcement of our next PD Adventure.
 
Safe journeys and have a wonderful day!
 
On behalf of ACRID,
Nicole Sander
