- What a great turnout at April’s E.A.T. event at DeafConnect (around 50 people attended!).  They are trying to plan the next E.A.T event for June.  Stay tuned.
 
I heard it was a beneficial time at the Health Event held prior to E.A.T. Event
 
- It was a small turnout at the MTRID meeting.  We were encouraged to spread the word about the upcoming CERT training.
 
- Rhodes College Students and Barbara Harrison did a great job with their “sports” theme at “Read with Me/Sign with Me”.  There is one more session for this school year.
