I'm going to let the pictures speak for itself...looking at the pictures brought so many chuckles, smiles and tears...I guess I can say that I'm going through DWU withdrawal... Already counting down to Portland, Oregon 2009!! See you ladies there!!
Registration Table
Ice Breaker Table...got to meet new and old friends!
Who's getting kissed? Nope..it's the Deaf Way of getting attention...it worked!
The DeLaune (now LeFors and Kulikov) Sisters (was nice to catch up/meet them)
Deaf Women of Baton Rouge--basically the engine behind the whole conference...THANKS to all of you ladies for making sure we had a great time...we hope you did too!!
"Give Me New Orleans"...I LOVED this mini entertainment skit...truly explained New Orleans in a nutshell!
Phyllis Frelich, our keynote speaker! This was her first conference...and I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of her in future conferences... Like the saying goes...once you've had a DWU conference...you can't go back! Sorry Lays...
DWU's Drum Song...We're a lively bunch!! Lots of positive news were announced then...Home Office, Affiliate Award and Mentorship program...plus many more...
Deaf Women of Ohio won the Affiliate Award...they truly deserved it...after all...they're only a three year affiliate and did SOOOO much for the Deaf community...WOW...Need more affiliates...thinking of being one...contact me!
Booths...nice way of PRing your company! 
Workshops on various topics were given...nice way of developing personal and professional growth...
The view from my hotel room...swimming...an escape from reality and them AC rooms..haha...
Socializing at the lobby..that's what we ALWAYS do when we have free time... **Taking a break...to be continued on the next blog...but hopefully you'll crave to see the rest of the pictures!** |
