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 DSDHHevents@utah.gov 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.

Holiday Service opportunity
Hello UTRID Membership! I hope you are staying warm…I can’t believe it’s so cold, so fast! We have been asked to share a service opportunity for the Thanksgiving holiday. Please read below and sign up to donate and/or volunteer if you can. It’s a great way to support our Deaf community members during the holidays.
Teddi, UTRID President
“We (DSDHH) would like to host a Thanksgiving dinner for our community members who may have nowhere to go for this holiday on Nov. 24th from 11 am to 1 pm. Holidays is a very challenging and lonely time for many of our community members who may not have family or friends to spend Thanksgiving with OR be able to socialize in an inclusive environment utilizing their preferred modes of communication which may include signing.
We are seeking donors who may be willing to donate various food for this dinner (we prefer food items instead of money due to State of Utah’s policies if possible- could be already cooked or we can prep the donated food)? It’s estimated that up to 70 people will attend so we will need enough food to cover up to 70 people.
If you are interested in buying items and donating to us, please go to this link and sign up for which items you’d like to purchase, etc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gnudB-Kz4FJmPveIF3wi_n5QEAoS7dY7/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=100068223787373814325&rtpof=true&sd=true
Let me know if you need more info about this.

Update and Invitation
Hello all! Thank you to everyone that attended our Level Up Conference last weekend – it was great to see so many of you in person and another round of thanks for Makayla and her committee! Check out our FB page for updates on new board members, members at large, and 2022 award winners.
We have received the following invitation from Pamela Mower:
Sanderson Community Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
30th Anniversary Celebration
VIP Guest Invitation
Hello! We are excited to share a very special event with you and extend an invitation to join us! We would love to have you come since you’ve been a great ally to Sanderson Community Center in many ways. On Saturday, August 27, 2022, from 4:00 to 8:00 pm, the Utah State Division of Services of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DSDHH), housed at the Robert G. Sanderson Community Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing will be celebrating its 30th anniversary!
The Sanderson Community Center is unique as it is the only one of its kind in the U.S.A. Thirty years ago, a group of Deaf advocates, led primarily by Robert G. Sanderson successfully achieved funding to establish a “one-stop” center in which an array of services and programs could be provided to enhance the lives of people who are Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing and their families. The center has two locations (one in Taylorsville and one in St. George) which provides support services, American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter certification, educational workshops, cultural events and more in a barrier-free environment with full communication access. We are very proud of this achievement. DSDHH/Sanderson Community Center is a true Utah gem!
The celebration schedule will be as following:
4 pm to 6 pm– an open house where guests can explore the center and all it has to offer. There will be tours, multimedia presentations along with a play area for the kids.
6 pm – 7 pm – Appetizers and a social hour with opportunities to meet and mingle with community and local government leaders.
7 pm – 8 pm– A program will feature entertainment, local Deaf and Hard of Hearing leaders and guest speakers with commemorations and comments tying the past to the present and the future of the Sanderson Community Center.
We would like to cordially invite you to attend this special event marking 30 years of service to the Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing communities in Utah. Without the support of the state and people of compassion it would not be possible to offer such a wide range of valuable services. You and the organization/agency you represent are an important cornerstone of everything we do. Please join us in celebrating the legacy of our predecessors and our heritage as we launch into the next 30 years!
If you plan on joining us, please register before Aug. 22 at this link: Register!
If you have any questions, please contact Pamela Mower at pmower@utah.gov.
In addition, Jeff Pollock has shared an employment opportunity for UTRID certified members if anyone is interested:
