Mary Beth 2,233 Report post Posted October 26 Hello all, ALDA (Association of Late Deafened Adults) just announced the location of their annual conference for 2020. It is in Niagara Falls, NY October 21-25, 2020. I am attending and I hope many of you will attend too. Even if you do not plan on attending, it can be a great opportunity to meet up for fun in person either before or after the conference. Who is interested in meeting up in Niagara Falls NY before or after this conference? Who is interested in attending the conference? Tagging some people to start us off and hope many more will join in. This could be fun! @Dave in Pittsburgh @Mary Featherston @Jewel @Megan L. @Kara of Canada @Sandy @mgfiest @Carolmarie @Hicksy @Artsy @Hearing Again @Nikki @Angie @Joan 1 Megan L. reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mary Featherston 738 Report post Posted October 26 OH MAN.....well, I'll have to see. My current plan is to be in California that week, there's a get-together that a lot of my friends go to that I don't otherwise see, plus it's near another little cluster of friends that I could drive over and see. Shoot. I'll have to see how everything shakes out. 1 Mary Beth reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jewel 450 Report post Posted October 31 Sounds like fun @Mary Beth. I should have a mapping appointment that month so I could just leave Miami and head straight to New York. If I come I would definitely want to go over the Canadian border and look at the Falls from that end. Let's see how it goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mary Beth 2,233 Report post Posted October 31 @Jewel That would be terrific! If you come, we will definitely explore the Canadian side as well. 1 Jewel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mary Featherston 738 Report post Posted November 6 I'd still end up traveling from Minnesota to California and then three days later going to New York.....this takes some thinking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
