Kentucky Deaf Festival

Join us in A Journey Around the World to Understand Ourselves
And Each Other Better

August 29, 2008
Louisville’s Kentucky Center, Todd Hall 10-5
Meet DeaFestival artists personally as we play together, create together, and learn to express ourselves! Use art, storytelling, and games the day before DeaFestival to discover the artist in YOU! You will have the opportunity to have the art created that day shown at DeaFestival (if you want) and to have one of your stories videotaped. By connecting with our feelings and experiences, we understand ourselves, each other, and the world better!


This is a FREE event!!

Lunch at WorldFest included free to the first twenty people registered!

This will be in a private, confidential setting Co-Sponsored by the Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Addiction Services, KCDHH, and the EKU Center on Deafness

I am looking forward to attending this event for the very first time! It should be very exciting, and I am looking forward to meeting many of you there! Stop by and see me at the "bookstore" set up by the KCDHH.

I am also very appreciative of the many emails of support that I have received from all over the state for the Captioned Movie bill I helped get pre-filed here in Kentucky. Thanks for all your support!
