Seek Support One of the tenets of VRID's Constitution states that we are to advocate for the rights of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Arva will be asking the commision to support the budget amendment. Consumers who want to support this effort are urged to be at the meeting in House Room D in the General Assembly building in Richmond. If you cannot be there, please call or write Lt. Gov Hager, who is the chair of the commission, to ask the commission's support.
All members are welcome to attend and take part in the meeting.
These board meetings are conducted in sign and are open to all. In this group, the focus is on interpreter issues rather than sign language skill. Presented by Jay Shopshire and Mike Marzholf. If you want to attend but must travel a great distance, contact Lynn to find out about overnight accommodations for a minimal fee. Gallaudet University's College for Continuing Education.
