Workshops: Workshops are usually held twice a year, in the spring and the fall.
Walk4Hearing: We plan to participate again in the Hearing Loss Association-NJ (HLA-NJ) Walk4Hearing to be held this fall at Mercer County Park in Hamilton Township, NJ. Our share of the proceeds last year was $1,111.00 and this was our first attempt. We hope to do even better this year! Our partnership with HLA-NJ allows us to split the net proceeds 50/50 AND help two great organizations work towards the same goal: to improve the lifestyle of those with hearing loss. The Walk4Hearing is a healthy, safe and fun way for all to gather and show solidarity. We encourage you to join us. Our cause is your cause. When the time draws closer, you will be able to go to the Walk's Website: www.walk4hearing.org and click on the "Find A Walker Or Team" link at the top of the page. Select the option for a team search, and type "ALDA-Best" in the search box. Click on the team name, then on "Join Team", and you are on your way to becoming a team member. You can also support us by donating to the team members, all of whom are anxious for support.
Newsletter Our online and hard copy (when requested) newsletter is sent to all ALDA-GS members. We encourage members to contribute articles, stories, poems and letters. Contributions may be sent to Lori Messing e-mail contributions preferred, but hard copies also welcome. Hard copies must be legibly written or typed double-spaced and sent to: Lori Messing 150 West End #25, New York, NY 10023
E-Mail Listserv You’re welcome to join our listserv, moderated by Lori Messing. List members all over NJ and beyond share their experiences and ideas on topics related to late-deafness. To join, contact Lori or go directly to the ALDA-GS Listserv.
