Next Meeting

At the next meeting, September 13^th at the Ashford Senior Housing (across the street from the Town Hall), our speaker will be Hariet Johnson. She will speak on the founding of our chapter. She is one of the original founders of the QCSHHH chapter.

The August Picnic was canceled due to health problems of some of our members. Our October meeting speaker will be Mrs. Stacie Mawso Exec Dir of CDHH  (Conn Dept of Hard of Hearing) speaking on Duties of CDHH. It should be a very interesting talk.

After the Break at the October meeting, we will have our Picnic 11-200pm. Please Bring  Goodies to share.   Drinks, ice cream, hamburgers, etc, will be supplied By HLAA
