All About Deaf Kids Fair

The Deaf Institute is offering "All About Deaf Kids Fair"

Deaf Institute, a non-profit faith-based organization, is planning their 7th All about Deaf Kids Fair on Saturday, March 7, 2009 at the campus of Cincinnati Christian University. The fair will be held in the Worship/Ministry building from 10 am-4 pm. This year’s theme is “Home…Where Your Story Begins.”

The purpose of the fair is to provide families with deaf and hearing members:
1) a free fun deaf/hearing-family-friendly day, including lunch;
2) activities and entertainment involving both deaf and hearing presenters which promote family communication and participation;
3) networking opportunities with families experiencing similar challenges;
4) networking opportunities with organizations which provide encouragement, equipment, & expertise in challenging areas these families face.

The activities and entertainment will focus on the fun and variety of ways to blend American Sign Language and English into the visually-rich art of story-telling. Storybook rooms, “My Story corners, Deaf games, family crafts, and mime-time will be available to encourage making family memories.

This fair, though free to the families, is possible through caring community organizations and groups partnering with the Deaf Institute.

If you have any further questions, please contact: Pam Eubanks, family ministry representative for the Deaf Institute. pam@deafinstitute.org or 513-307-8100.
