Walk4Hearing
DHCC, who was a proud sponsor for the Walk4Hearing, had a blast participating in the PA Walk4Hearing on May 12th, 2007. Last year we had 10 people on our team. This year, our team, DHCC United, recruited over 20 people! We also had to raise our team goal more than three times!! All the money we raised went to HLAA at the national and local levels.

Thank you all for your support and/or donation on behalf of DHCC United. We hope you will join us again next year!

DHCC’s 35th Anniversary Celebration a Success!
On March 25, 2007, DHCC celebrated 35 years of excellence with 140 friends at the Springfield Country Club. We used the theme of “Spring” which is a time of hope, growth and renewal. Filmon Mebrahtu, a former DHCC employee, was gracious enough to make us a DVD that combined the four past anniversary videos. This seemed to be a big hit as many people gathered around to watch it and remember former celebrations. Look for information below to get a copy of the DVD!

We also used the event to look back at “Then” and forward to “Now”. There were many people who spoke beautifully about the history of DHCC and how DHCC affected their lives. Those who spoke were Lillian Hoshauer, April Nelson, Doris Stettler, Jane Pulver, Dan Dalton, Toni Szarek and Barbara Yago. Their presentations were uplifting and informative to people who are new to DHCC. They really showed how DHCC started and how the mission has been carried out through the years.

Iris Boshes, Executive Director, presented awards to some very deserving people. The Lillian Hoshauer Award was presented to Beth Vail for her contribution toward improving communication access. She has served as a Camp Tom-Tom counselor, computer trainer, sign language instructor, emergency service interpreter and general advocate for Deaf and hard of hearing people’s rights. The Board Appreciation Award was presented to Marilyn Conwell by the last anniversary’s recipient, Fred Nielsen. The Generosity Award went to Mary Hesser for giving to DHCC unselfishly in so many ways. The Unsung Hero Award was given to Greta Thomson who has helped DHCC since the beginning and has asked nothing in return.

In addition, instead of giving away door prizes as we had done in the past, we had a very successful Silent Auction! We were so pleased to have over 80 items donated for the auction. Our top sellers were 3 packages of Phillies tickets and a Ryan Howard autographed baseball!!!

If you would like a copy of the compilation DVD that was shown at the celebration, please contact Dawn Ann Duboski at dawnannd@dhcc.org (prefer method of contact) or 610-604-0450 (tty/v). The cost for the DVD is $12 plus the cost of shipping.
