IAD Friends & Supporters!!

Have a safe Independence Day & 4th of July!!  If you or your friends or family would like to continue and get monthly emails and announcements like this, please join IAD by going to http://www.idahodeaf.org/ then click on the Members tab. IAD Membership is only $10 a year until our next biennial conference in August 2017. To see future events, click on the Events tab to find the Deaf Community Calendar.  Due to a survey in the Idaho Deaf Community group on Facebook, our calendar has now added an abbreviation of cities at the beginning of event titles such as (Boi), (Merdn), (Nampa), (TwinF), (CDA), (Blkft), etc.  In the list of events below, I assigned Color fonts for different regions of Idaho to make it easier for you to skim through: National, East Idaho, Treasure Valley, North Idaho, Magic Valley, Other.  If you have other events that you want announced not listed below or on the calendar, please email secr...@idahodeaf.org and we will send them out for you.
