Youth serve spaghetti to hungry patrons.

Patrons show their Hearing Bridges spirit while waiting to be served.

Magician Wayne Clemons entertains the crowd.
Hearing Bridges’ Youth Services Program would like to thank everyone for their support for the program, including donations, time, energy, and attendance. Everyone at the Spaghetti Dinner had a nice time with fellowship, eating, and watching the magician do his cool tricks. Many thanks to all involved.

It was a full house the night of the launch.

Entertainment was provided by Playing by Air.
Last week, the League for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and EAR Foundation celebrated its new name of Hearing Bridges with a launch open house. The festive atmosphere was complete with entertainment by Playing By Air, a balloon drop, and free promotional items. People came out in their purple finest to celebrate the past, present, and future of Hearing Bridges. It is an exciting time to be a part of this organization as it continues to change and grow, just as it has for more than 80 years.

Friday night’s first Grill Out & Game Night was a fabulous success. Phil Klytta and Lloyd Billingsley grilled hamburgers and hotdogs outside near the parking garage. Trina Baylor, Joe Francis, and Gene Parkhurst spent much of Friday setting up tables and chairs for Grill Out & Game Night. Eric Workman was in charge of the game “Win, Lose, or Draw.” Suzanne Russell and Sandy Roussell taught the game “Pit,” and Beth Moss interpreted. Tricia Musser ran the game of “Bunko.” The food that was brought in by all those who participated in Grill Out & Game Night was wonderful, but I must say the people who attended Friday night’s party were the icing on the cake. Grill Out & Game Night was a success because of YOU!
