Call for Alumni Representatives from EVERY Deaf Community!!

Last night, we had a FSSA/GUAA booth which we had alumni, parents and community members helping out in spreading awareness of what is happening at Gallaudet. THANK YOU to who came to help.

We are currently trying to raise money to be able to send Bay Area representatives. Last night we earned $224. KUDOS to you who helped! WE STILL NEED WHOLE A LOT MORE! If you want to donate, please contact me via BAYAREA4GALLY@YAHOO.COM.

With the community's voice and GUAA's inputs we have came up with an ideal criteria in our representatives.

- ALUMNI!
- A person with knowledge of politics/laws/legal actions
- A person who have worked at Gallaudet (SBG, Campus Life, Campus Activities)
- A person who knows a member or more on BOT and the adm.
- A person who can bring to the community there that they don't already have.
- A parent of current Gallaudet student is EXTRA bonus
- A person who can inspire, provide experience in a crisis, provide legitimate strategies/discussions/ideas/leadership to FSSA

Some of you have made nominations, and please e-mail me @ bayarea4gally@yahoo.com if you have any more nominations.

We have came up with top 4 nomination's, but still want to have your input on the criteria and names before we review the criteria and availability on the nominated people.

THIS IS CRITICAL to get this going.

THE BURNING QUESTION IS:
Should we send two reps NOW? I have received direct sources from FSSA and some staff members that it's "Thank you but no thanks"... BECAUSE TWO is not enough. They are encouraging us to push our local alumni in the area to GO.

So, I have thought about this and feel we should contact every Alumni we know in other states and push for them to send reps within the week... as we get unified support and we do send two reps asap with the group then send another two over the Homecoming weekend.

THE MORE ALUMNI GOES TOGETHER, THE MORE THEY WILL BENEFIT.

I'm communicating closely with them today and will look closely at this discussion and let you guide me and assist me in making a community decision.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT.

GO and GET our fellow ALUMNI to commit into sending REPS PRONTO!

Also, there is A FORUM at CSD @ 4:30p in Elem. Activity Center. Please do come and share our concerns and discuss our next POA (PLAN OF ACTION).

Yours,
Karina
