Love Yourself PD Workshop 2/25/23
It is the time of the year where we focus on love! Perfect time for a workshop about Self Care: Thinking beyond the mani-pedi. Please join us for “Love Yourself” presented by Alysia McEvoy and Katie Maxwell, from 11:00a-1:00p on 2/25/23 located at Sanderson Community Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (5709 S 1500 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84123)

11:00am- 1:00pm
5709 S 1500 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84123
Presented by Katie Maxwell and Alysia McEvoy
As interpreters, we work hard with a heart of service to the Deaf community, and we become witnesses to the special, as well as the traumatic moments they experience. In this workshop, we will focus on what techniques and strategies we can use to help us in our day to day work. We will focus on how to find healthy ways of taking care of ourselves and avoiding burnout.
This Workshop will be presented in person at the Sanderson Community Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (5709 S 1500 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84123)
Members: $30, Non-Members: $65, Students: $5

UTRID Board News – Change is coming
Hello UTRID Membership!
I wanted to make you aware of an upcoming change with the UTRID leadership. I will be moving to Arizona on March 1st and as a result can no longer fulfill my term as President. According to our bylaws, the Vice President, would be responsible for taking on that role. Tanner Vance is the current UTRID Vice President and he and I have met and determined both his willingness and aptitude for stepping into this role. Because the next elections would happen in August and the president position will be open, it makes sense for Tanner to act in the interim with support from other UTRID board and committee members. Tanner has been serving UTRID in various capacities for the past several years and will continue to lead our membership into innovative and creative spaces. You are in good hands!
The next few months will be crucial for getting more volunteers to serve on our committees for Professional Development, Silent Weekend, and Conference. Please consider if you might be able to provide support for those events and reach out! Your ideas for how to grow and shape UTRID are valued!
I first joined the UTRID Board as Secretary in 2006, the summer we moved here. That was followed by 2 years as Vice President and my most recent terms as Professional Development Chair and President. The Utah interpreting and Deaf communities are like no other! I have always felt welcomed and needed as part of your communities. I will miss seeing you all regularly and hope that if you ever need a sunny break, you will come down for a visit! You can keep in touch with me through email at [email protected].
Thanks again for your years of friendship and support!
Hugs and ILY Hands Waving!

Volunteers needed for DSDHH Thanksgiving Event
Hello all! Pamela, our Deaf Community Liaison, has asked me to reach out to you again for more volunteers. Please consider giving your time on Thanksgiving to support our Deaf community members.
Hi everyone!
I am reaching out to you to see if you’d be interested in being part of our annual Thanksgiving Gathering on November 24, 2022? I know you helped with our last Thanksgiving gathering and wanted to check in with you- we can’t do this without you. This is a great opportunity for us to give back to our Deaf, HOH and DeafBlind community members by being part of this and serving others
If you have not signed up for time slots to help out for the day before OR the day of Thanksgiving, please click on this to sign up: LINK Go to the 2nd link named “Volunteers Sign Up Schedule and Duties”
We also wanted to let you know that there’s a GREAT opportunity for you to come and do a BCI FAST at NO COST here at DSDHH and it’s tomorrow (Tuesday) between 5 pm to 8 pm!
We are offering this easy and quick opportunity since all volunteers are required to have a criminal background check as required by law before volunteering.
All you need to do is..
- Fill out this application- Volunteer application
- Email us at [email protected] to sign up for a time slot
- Show up for about 15 min to 30 mins then you can volunteer!
There are various duties such as setting up, washing dishes, keeping people company as needed along with food prepping.
Since food prepping and food serving is a big part, we really need more volunteers to have their food handler permits.
If you can’t make the in person event, you can take the course online, pay $25, Scan the receipt of your payment to me and I’ll have your reimbursement processed.
