2024 Sub for Santa
Now is again that time of the year, when UTRID (Utah Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf) hosts an exciting event known as Sub for Santa. This wonderful charity event sponsors families, who have faced unexpected challenges in recent months and we are teaming up with SLCAD (Sego Lily Center for Abused Deaf) for this. Christmas may be a difficult time for some who are experiencing lean times while experiencing domestic violence. It is up to us in the community who are capable of making a difference in such people’s lives, and to make Christmas a little merrier for them.
This year, we are sponsoring one family through SLCAD. We are having a wishlist on the Amazon Registry with items that each family member needs and wants. This list is open for everyone to view. If you would like to purchase an item on the wishlist, please do so. Purchased items will be sent directly to SLCAD to deliver to the family.
In order to donate, please visit the link and take a look at the list https://rb.gy/8hb415
ALSO, please join us for a short and sweet party at the Sanderson Community Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing on December 9, 2023. It’s a great opportunity to socialize and catch up on what’s new.

Student Involvement Game Night!

This event is free to the public!
However, if you want credit for CEUs/CEHs, the prices are as follows:
Students: $5

This is a student involvement workshop aimed at bringing together ASL and interpreting students, working interpreters, and the Deaf community to socialize, network, and develop language. We will play several games to accomplish these tasks including ice breaker/get to know you games, speed mentoring, and depicting verb pyramid. We will strategically pair together students with more experienced interpreters and Deaf community members for various games to encourage building relationships and opportunities for constructive feedback.
Objectives:
1. Participants will develop a more robust Deaf and professional interpreters network
2. Participants will receive hands-on practice and mentoring by participating in various games based on their skill/knowledge level
3. Participants will utilize expressive and receptive skills through ASL games, activities, and socializing.
