AURORA of Central New York

Based on the success of AURORA’s Deaf Empowerment workshop during Deaf Awareness Week, AURORA has developed a Deaf Education series of workshops.

“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
