Volunteers Needed
Hello friends,
We are planning a Mother’s Day fundraiser for the upcoming UTRID Conference. The plan is to offer different goodie packages with chocolate covered strawberries, caramel and chocolate covered pretzels, and roses. We will take orders up until May 9th. Then people can have the option to pick up at the orders at the Deaf Center, or have them Delivered on May 11.
I am in need of helpers for the following:
Now until May 9:
-Selling!! We are hoping to have order forms (both printed and electronic) ready by this Thursday or Friday. Watch for them.
-Helping me organize my ideas and plans. Boundaries for delivery options? Order and payment tracking. Cute advertising? Etc.
May 9: Purchase of Supplies (Joining me while shopping, or tag teaming at different stores as necessary)
May 10: Production of Goodie Packages. I am working on reserving the Deaf Center kitchen all day on Friday to make the chocolate covered strawberries, pretzels and assembly of the gift boxes.
May 11: Delivery.
If you can help out with any of these things, please sign up here:
Nicole V. -Fundraising Chair

Double Minorities: Interpreting for Minorities within the Deaf Minority (.3/3 CEU/CEH-Professional Studies)
Presenters:
Marcela S. Lopez, Karen Rama & Alysia McEvoy
Moderator: Amber Sidwell
Being Deaf or Hard of Hearing is one layer of a person’s identity. This workshop will focus on double minorities- individuals who have more than one cultural and/or linguistic identity and how we can be more sensitive to their needs as interpreters. We will also discuss some of the challenges these individuals face as they interact with the larger Deaf minority and the hearing majority. Cultural and linguistic samples include the Latino/Hispanic community, the Polynesian Community and the LGBT community. This session will include a Q&A panel.
This workshop will be presented in ASL.
Personal and Professional evolution: Cultivating Self awareness and Self Care (.3/3 CEU/CEH- Professional Studies)
Presenter: Heather Beck
The importance of self awareness and mindfulness impacts our daily work as Interpreters. Together we will learn how to fine tune our mind, body and spirit to maintain overall health and longevity in the field of Interpreting.
This workshop will be presented in English. Please request in advance if ASL interpretation is needed. Email [email protected] or include the request in registration form.
