DBC to Speak at NAD Convention in New Orleans
Friends,
David Reynolds and I will speak at the NAD convention next week in New Orleans on Friday, July 11th, 2008 at 8:30 am.
Please come to New Orleans and see for yourself about DBC and its mission. Our topic will be Deaf babies as well as the topic of state associations working with DBC state chapters across the country.
Also, we will be working together to create strategies to reach out to policymakers and people in decision-making roles who made decisions that affect the quality of education and rights of Deaf children and students. EHDI is one area of concern that we can focus on, as well as the question of AG Bell, Association of College Educators of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (ACEDHH), and more.
The DBC is a coalition that will continue to promote this new movement by taking actions which will help empower our communities everywhere by participate in rallies and educational workshops, all based on showing people the truth about Deaf children and language.
Bilingually Yours,
John Egbert

John, great! I may bump into you somewhere at NAD. Be seeing you soon. LindaT
Don’t give up, John. There are very very few who do not appreciate what you have done so far. Many are on your side. You are strong and you are right. Again, I wish I could go to NAD. I hope my life will permit me to follow your tail and be one of the supporters to fight for babies right… soon.
john,
thank you thank you thank you!
the dbc conference was a big success and i’m still “high” from the conference. it was worth every penny i spent! and it gave me a renewed zest to commit myself to the dbc causes.
i won’t be at the nad conference but i’m delighted you will be there to keep pushing the movement. you have thousands of us who are behind you!
kudos to you and your committee for a very successful conference!!
Big hand waves to you, John and David!
DBC Conference in MIlwaukee was great!!
I can’t be at NAD convention, I have another Deaf event to attend but I will be thinking of DBC at NAD…and I know more people will see the light and be inspired to join the push for Deaf babies’ and children’s right to sign!
John:
I want to encourage you no to give up the fight! You are doing alot of good work for the Deaf babies… please do not give up. You have the support of the overwhelming majority of the Deaf community world wide.
Peace.
Hi John,
That is great for you and David to attend NAD convention and to meet members. Let spread out the message to them and ask them to work with DBC to promote Bilingualism for all Deaf babies and children and their families.
Keep up with your excellent work!

Could be a big mistake or something positive. If you get my drift….no? Ok, if there is a re-affirmation of the original goals and, if necessary, separate the wheat from the chaff within DBC.
David and John,
Good luck at NAD! You will do great! I am in the favor to sign ASL with Deaf babies to develop strong BICS and CALP!
I am a teacher in the mainstreaming school and sign ASL in the classroom. My students have shown a great improvement in their writing and reading skills!
Will not able to make at NAD this time.
Keep up your great work!
