Opportunity to support Thanksgiving at the Sanderson Community Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

Comments Off on Opportunity to support Thanksgiving at the Sanderson Community Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

Hello everyone! We have been given an opportunity to help serve and/or donate to an upcoming event for our Deaf, Hard of Hearing and DeafBlind community members.  See below for the message and links:

“I am so excited about this and so grateful that you are interested in sponsoring this upcoming FIRST Annual Community Thanksgiving Gathering on Nov. 25th hosted by Sanderson Community Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing!

As you know, a high number of our Deaf, hard of hearing and DeafBlind community members either are alone, isolated from their family members due to communication access limitations during holidays. Research shows that the rate of suicides are highest during the holidays due to people being alone or isolated. This shows how important it is for us to provide an inclusive place for all to gather and celebrate this holiday.

The plan is to host this from 11 am to 1 pm at Sanderson Center on Nov. 25th with volunteers to help serve, etc. We have set up a registration deadline for this by Nov. 19th and it will be limited to 50 people at the most and by Nov. 19th, I should have an exact # of how many people will be coming.

We are requesting that the donations be either as gift cards to Wal-Mart or WinCo OR buy the specific items requested and deliver to us by Nov. 24th. The reason we are requesting either gift cards or food purchases be brought to us is due to the red tape under State of Utah related to purchasing food. We would face a lot of roadblocks in purchasing food and this is where we really need you!  The estimated cost of all the food will be almost $750 so every bit that is donated would be greatly appreciated!

Deadlines for donations along with volunteering (serve or make): November 15th

To purchase food items, bring and/or make-  please go to this link – food to get

To volunteer– volunteer signup schedule

Feel free to call, email or text me if you have any questions about this.

Looking forward to your reply.

Comments Off on UTRID Membership Survey

Greetings from the UTRID President!

Hello beautiful members of UTRID! I’m Teddi von Pingel, the new UTRID President for the upcoming 2 years. I wanted to take this opportunity to check in with you and learn more about your needs, your goals, and how we as the UTRID board can change and improve to help you maximize your membership benefits.

 

The survey is linked below and may take you 10-15 minutes to complete.  The survey doesn’t require you to fill out your name and email address, but we hope you will include it and also be honest with your feedback and needs. 

Survey responses are due October 1, however, if you complete the survey by 9/29 (NEW DEADLINE), all responses will be entered into a drawing for a cool prize from me or the UTRID board. (Don’t forget to include your name and/or email).

Your feedback is important to us! We can’t continue to run our UTRID organization without understanding your needs.  Kimm, as past president of UTRID for 5 years, worked hard to build interpreter unity and meet your needs.  Our hope is to continue building on that foundation as we grow our membership and meet member needs for  our Utah interpreters.   We welcome all ideas and feedback.

We look forward to getting your feedback.  Have a great day!
