member mentioned below is that I met her this past summer since she used to
have my job position. I was working as the Ropes Course Coordinator at an
adventure camp for deaf kids in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Colorado</st1:place></st1:State>.
Now, Christy is on the board of directors for the camp and she was recently
working on a TV show called “Christy’s Kids” which features
Deaf and hearing kids. You can learn more about her show at: </span></font><font

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>First, thanks for the early responses to ASL group ideas
(sorry I don’t have time to write to each of you). It helps to tell
me things like “I can go to <st1:City w:st="on">Northampton</st1:City>
but <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Holyoke</st1:City></st1:place>
would be best for me”. There’s some interest in <st1:City
w:st="on">Springfield</st1:City> so maybe we can get groups going in <st1:City
w:st="on">Springfield</st1:City> and <st1:City w:st="on">Northampton</st1:City>
(any more <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Greenfield</st1:City></st1:place>
people out there?). Some people are saying that 5:00 or 7:00 is best on
different nights but if you don’t say a time I assume any time is ok.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Second, the best way to get to ASL information on
Jason’s web site is at <a href="http://www.jasonwoof.org/asl">www.jasonwoof.org/asl</a>
(I forgot the asl part the last time I sent it).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

repeats of the reality TV show “Survivor: Amazon”, starting on Wednesday,
January 4 (tonight!). The first three episodes are being shown starting
from 7:00 to 10:30. The schedule is confusing so you can check the OLN
web site at <a href="http://www.olntv.com/">www.olntv.com</a> A
deaf woman named Christy Smith is one of the players. If you missed it
the first time, this is your chance to see Christy battle hunger, jungle
living, and a group of clueless hearing people! <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
