Hello. I have some information. Please save the date:

June 27th, (2009) Saturday - all day.

Time: from 8 o’clock in the morning till late at night.

The event? We will have a Vblog Symposium here in San Leandro, CA.

Where? At the Deaf Community Center (DCC)

My work, DCARA (Deaf, Counseling, Advocacy and Referral Agency) has arranged and is hosting this Vblog Symposium. We will have more details on our work website: www.dcara.org. Please go there often. You will see more and more information coming soon.

But for now, I just want to let you know, please save that date. Come out to California and enjoy many speakers - we’ll have 15 speakers, who will gather together and network. You will enjoy them. They will be teaching about vlogging and blogging, sharing their experiences about vblogging and a plethora of topics. It will be fun!

That evening, we will have a wine and cheese fundraiser to support our organization and further our deaf services.

I hope you can join us.

Bye (ILY wave)
