Saturday's PAH! event will again feature a live auction with some very nice items.  The ever popular cheesecakes by Jim "JP" Powell will be available, along with a very exciting surprise from the Green Bay Packers organization!  If you like all things Packers, you will not want to miss this item - a truly special collector's item.

We will also have door prizes and don't forget about our raffle drawing that evening too!  Lots of opportunities to go home with something nice from PAH!

And, the most exciting things of all are the people who are coming to give presentations and perform.

Workshop Presenters (during the afternoon):

John Egbert, founder of the Deaf Bilingual Coalition

Denise Johnson, Project Coordinator - AODA Services for the Deaf/Hard of Hearing

Stacey Savka, Deaf Unity

Performers (evening after dinner):

Victor Malave, Deaf Storyteller

Beethoven's Nightmare, Deaf Rock Band Extraordinaire

ALSO: Sorenson Communications will have a booth with representatives available to answer questions about the Sorenson videophone and services.

We are no longer accepting registrations for the banquet dinner, but you can still come and enjoy the performers in the evening!  Waverly Beach does have a restaurant and the food is very good, so if you did not register for the banquet, you can have dinner in the restaurant before the performance.  Doors will open for the performances at 6:30PM, cover charge is ONLY $10.00 PER PERSON. Plan on joining us for an unforgettable night - Saturday, October 24, 2009 at Waverly Beach in Menasha!

If you couldn't get tickets to the dinner and performance at PAH!, you can still come to see Beethoven's Nightmare perform on the night of October 24th at Waverly Beach for a cover charge of only $10.00 per person. Doors open 6:30pm.  So, bring your friends to see this performance - it's open to everyone!  Come join us and TURN IT UP LOUDER!
