Hello Everyone,

Hello all let you know that I am an editor again with my assist Jeff Janaszek for the year 2009.  If you want any story or news to announce on the newsletter, let us know!  My email is on the officers.  We are trying to save our stamps and printing costs for the newsletter.  We want to post it on the WEBSITE at www.pghdeafclub.org.  Let us know if you want to stop newsletter and check out on the website would save us a bunch!!  THANKS!!

Your Editor,

Hello again!!

I am back as President for another year.  I would like to take a moment to give a round of applause of my former officers for the year 2008.  Each one deserves praise as they have gone throughout the year working with me and also during months of remodeling from water damage.  I also want to take a moment to praise those who sacrificed a lot of time in helping me out in certain ways.  For example, the House Committee keeps the club updated in repairs, etc.  They are Charles Fisher, Jim Toner, Chris Noschese and Jeff janaszek; and the housekeeping staff, Monicah Muli and MJ Shahen.

In reviewing the year 2008, I want to thank all those who hosted various activities such as the fundraiser held in Mt. Washington, the Turkey Bash, Christmas Bash, Steelers Party, New Years Eve Party, Picnic, Bingo, Pingo, and the Holiday Partycommittees.  I am hoping for another positive year for our club and it members.  The most important thing for this club is cooperation and assistance from all the members.

Most of all, I want to remind you that this club is your second home and the members are like family.  The members own this club and your membership dues help with utlilty bills and other expenses.  It’s important to remember that Deaf leaders worked hard years ago to establish a club for us.  If it were not for them, we would not have a club today.  Think about that!!

If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to share them with me or the other officers.  We will be glad to help in any way we can.  I will take time to listen to your criticism or advice.  I hope you make the best of 2009 as I intend to do.  I wish all of you a healthy and good new year.  God Bless you all.

One more thing I want to say that we will have CSDVRS KICKOFF FOR OUR PAVRS on March 7th 2009.  Keep eye for post around PAD!!

DON’T FORGET TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP FOR 2009.
