This is a special event especially for families who have children and/or adults with diagnosed hearing loss. Come and meet new friends while playing and exploring at The Cube. FREE admission for this night only.
I hope all of you will come to the July 7th meeting for not only the topic that will be discussed, but also to have a chance to say good-bye to our professional advisor Dr. Brad Ingrao. Dr. Ingrao has accepted a position as a professor at a University in Florida and begins his new job on August 1, 2018.
Come say THANK YOU to Dr. Ingrao for his invaluable assistance to our chapter as a professional advisor – we have been honored that he has shared his expertise in matters of hearing loss at our meetings. His future students will be very lucky to have him!!
