Deaf Digest: Bargain PAD membership dues

Membership dues at hearing clubs can be real expensive – somewhere between $250.00 and $1,000 and even higher. The Pittsburgh Association of the Deaf, one of the nation’s most respected deaf clubs, recently
posted a list of its revised membership dues. To make it short, for active members it is $45.00 per year. It is a huge bargain as compared to other hearing clubs and hearing societies. Yet, it is sad that some deaf people feel that $45.00 is VERY expensive! These same deaf people don’t complain that Starbucks can be more expensive.
