A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to all of the sponsors, supporters and attendees of our 8^th Annual Musical Feast for the Eyes and Ears, held recently at The Lodge at Welch Allyn in Skaneateles. The event raised a record $53,000!!

We are very grateful to Honorary chairs of the event, William and Penny Allyn of Skaneateles. William Allyn is past president of Welch Allyn, the international medical diagnostic equipment manufacturer and long-time corporate sponsor for the Musical Feast.  

The Musical Feast included dinner, dancing, music by Mere Mortals and silent and live auctions.  A highlight of this year’s auction was the fierce bidding for some outstanding items such as a week-long stay at a resort home in Utah billed as the Ski- and Sundance Package, generously donated by Dr. and Mrs. Murray Grossman.

• providing high quality services that empower individuals to achieve their highest potential and fullest level of participation in their homes, schools on the job and in the community;
• advocating for the elimination of barriers and attitudes that hinder this participation;
• educating all citizens on the causes, treatment and management of  these disabilities; and
• organizing resources necessary to support these efforts.

     

At Aurora of Central New York WE BELIEVE: 

• AURORA should foster quality of life and a sense of valued personal worth for people with vision or hearing loss, including independence and autonomy, personal esteem and dignity in all endeavors.
• People with visual or hearing impairments should have opportunities to participate fully in education, employment, and community life.
• The ability to advocate for one’s self is essential to ensure full and equal access for people with sensory loss.
• Consumers of our service should have optimum access to a comprehensive range of services provided or coordinated by AURORA.
• Services should be provided in a professional, caring and empowering way.
• Our services should be provided in the most cost effective way.
• Our fundraising goals and objectives should preserve the integrity of our mission statement and the values upheld by AURORA.
• AURORA has the responsibility to serve as a leader in the field.

State-wide licensure of these profession would assist with reimbursement rates as well as enable New York to attract the “best and the brightest” for these vital positions.

“We had 35 people attend the Deaf Empowerment workshop! I believe that knowledge is power.  In this new series we want to provide education to people in the Deaf community on topics where there hasn’t been a lot of awareness before,” said Maggie Russell, director of AURORA’s Marjorie Clere Interpreter Referral Service.

All workshop will be held in the Rosamond Gifford Community Room at 518 James Street (lower level) in Syracuse.  They will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Topics will include:
                            “Changing Times at AURORA”             March 25, 2010
                            “Services in the Community”               June 17, 2010
                            “Choices as You Get Older”                 September 16, 2010
                            “You Talk-We Listen”                          December 16, 2010
