0:36 Back to Jesse Jones in front of the beach view: Last Friday, all day on September 25th, there was a series of excellent workshops. It started with Dr. Flavia Flesicher who shared with us the concept of Deaf Culture Community Wealth (DCCW). It was a very good presentation. The next workshop was given by Marla Hatrak about Language Is Not Equal to Communication. I learned a lot from her. The next one was presented by Laura Petersen and Julie Rems-Smario about What Is EHDI? It helped me to be prepared for upcoming EHDI conference. The next presentation was given by Dr. Tom Humphries who shared about his research group’s Harm Reduction article which emphasized that giving (sign) Language reduces harm. This presentation really impacted me. WOW! Then there was a panel with parents sharing their perspectives of EDHI. Terrylene and Tony Ronco were on the panel. It was very good. The parents were asked a lot of questions and we received a lot of responses which I learned about how to be ready for the future. The next presenter is Sheri Ann Farinha who shared with us about the history of Language Equality and Acquisition for Deaf Kids (LEAD_K). I learned a lot from her. Then to help us plan for the pending EHDI conference, it was let by Julie Rems-Smario and Alan Amann. It was a day of ongoing stimulating workshops Then during the evening we all went to DawnSignPress for a wine and cheese social party. I really thank DSP for their great support. Food was given out by Feast On This. Thank you! (Thumbs up gesture).

Marly Hatrak gave a workshop to teach that Language is not equal to Communication. It was a good workshop. I also so many Deaf children interacting and playing. It was nice. Afterwards we all went to the Deaf Club! All the Deaf people gathered along with the hearing. The community came together for good social time chatting and enjoying ourselves. There were lots of laughters. We had an open stage event! Several people came forward to the stage to share ASL stories and jokes all night until the restaurant closed. I really had a good time.
