Remember Deaf Artists of America? DAA was active in Rochester from 1987 to 1995 and had an art gallery in downtown Rochester for four years (1988-92). When DAA became inactive, several items were donated to other nonprofit organizations, including the Rochester School for the Deaf. But some items have been in storage all these years.
It is time to find new homes for these items. Two dozen artworks, magazines and collectibles are now available on eBay. Proceeds will be used to provide new programs and services to the Rochester deaf and hard-of-hearing community. (Stay tuned for more information.)
The current auctions end this weekend, so don’t delay. If you want to see what is available, please click HERE.
More items will be put up in the near future and the same link should work when the new items are listed.

Volunteer Legal Services Project (VLSP) will be offering another informational workshop as part of our Low Income Tax Clinic for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
The workshop will be held on NOVEMBER 30, 2007 from 6-7:30pm. The Rochester Educational Awareness Program (R.E.A.P.) at the Rochester Recreation Club for the Deaf will be hosting it.
They are located at 1564 Lyell Ave. in Rochester.
This session will be presented by a tax attorney. He will be discussing general rights and responsibilities, how to complete W-4 forms, types of tax fraud and schemes along with how to protect yourself from identity theft.
The program is open to anyone with a hearing loss.
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for future topics. We are asking people to make reservations as we have limited seating. I can be reached at Hscalzo@wnylc.com or 295-5712 (voice).
