Deaf Success Stories in Maryland During Clerc-Gallaudet Week (Dec 3-10), the American public will be acknowledging the remarkable partnership between Laurent Clerc (deaf) and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet (hearing), the first two visionary leaders in American Deaf Education. On Saturday December 6, 2014, open hours 2-6 pm, FOLDA invites you to celebrate Maryland Deaf Community. It will be held in Beltsville, MD at the Comfort Inn (Capital Beltway/I-95, 4050 Powder Mill Road) We will be paying tribute to (1) Maryland School for the Deaf (MSD est.1868); (2) Maryland School for the Deaf Alumni Association (MSDAA est. 1892); and (3) Maryland Association of the Deaf (MDAD est. 1956). Sean Markel, Interviewer and film maker, and Kat Brockway, mover and shaker to preserve Maryland deaf history, will be looking out for your stories to share with library friends groups and organizations serving deaf diversity as well as the general public in Maryland. Selected new books and art products by/about deaf people will be on sale. Please support them - Rock Stars at your library. Deaf Success Stories Let us honor present or former Marylanders who have been influenced by this state in achieving national recognition in their fields of endeavor, thereby reflecting credit and honor upon Maryland and its citizens. For example, Jack R. Gannon, present Marylander and author and the late George W. Veditz, former Marylander and the first mover and shaker for rights of deaf children to learn both ASL and English in school classrooms. If you wish, you may email short stories in advance to FOLDA. And also you may ask for a free copy of Clerc-Gallaudet Week poster before December 1, 2014. FOLDA86@aol
