HOLIDAY LUNCHEON AND PARTY
Don’t worry about hearing loss on December 5. We’re celebrating
the Holidays differently this year with fun, food, music and games for chapter
members at the daytime HLAA/Rochester meeting. No need to brownbag—a
sumptuous lunch is provided for everyone. Entertainment is by long-time chapter
member Al Saia on piano and John Braun on guitar. Marlene Sutliff is in charge
of the arrangements.
We’ll play HLAA Bingo for prizes. The person who completely fills
in his/her Bingo card wins a fabulous “Mary Chizuk” gift basket.
Bob Sickmond is in charge of the prizes.
Lighten up for the daytime HLAA/Rochester Holiday luncheon party.
Evening meeting 7:00pm
“
EASY ENTERTAINING FOR HARD OF HEARING HOSTS” with Meredith Low
Entertaining at home is so much easier than meeting friends at a noisy restaurant,
says Meredith. Why? The hard of hearing host(ess) is in control of the guest
list, seating arrangements, and placement of the dining table to suit his/her
hearing needs best.
Especially with Thanksgiving and year-end holidays approaching, you can
enjoy socializing while setting the scene. Meredith advises on the menu—non-crunchy
foods—not playing music, and specifying the time of day when you’re
at your best and other techniques to maximize your enjoyment and social interaction.
Chapter member Meredith Low is a social worker who has counseled hearing,
hard of hearing and deaf clients. She recently embarked on a new career as
a free-lance writer.
