As noted in an earlier entry, Christy Smith (of TV’s “Survivor” fame) and Dave Justice held a kickoff event today to prepare for their departure from Rochester on October 17 for their Discovering Deaf Worlds adventure. The event was held 11 am to 2 pm today at Rowe Photo and attracted a good-sized crowd. The hosts provided pizza and pop and gave out door prizes to several lucky winners.
Speakers included Werner of South Africa, Yana and Yuliya of Russia, Daanijela of Yugoslavia, Minou of Japan and Vaibhav of India.
Christy and Dave were honored to have State Sen. Joseph E. Robach join the festivities. Sen. Robach, who made a few brief remarks, was instrumental in getting New York State to create the new Interagency Council for Services to Persons Who Are Deaf, Deaf-Blind and Hard-of-Hearing.
