The British Columbia Association
of the Deaf-Blind is an association for independent persons who are Deaf-Blind.
Run by persons who are Deaf-Blind for others who are also Deaf-Blind.
Our goal is to have fun,
but it takes a lot of work to get to the fun part. So, we plan, organize,
sponsor and partake in a large variety of activities. So, we have
meetings. There are General Meetings every two to three months (October,
January, March and June). There is a Board of Directors meetings
every month to generate ideas, to finalize arrangements and plan activities.
We have six directors: President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary,
Social Director and Member-At-Large.
Our general meetings
are always entertaining, we are never a tedious group. We discuss,
argue, suggest and do fun things. We are at the ripe old age of eight
with a membership count of forty.
We are always accepting
new members. It does not matter if you are Deaf, Blind Deaf-Blind
or “normal." We would like to have more people join our association.

? Self-Eteem
? Sexual Well-Being
? Earthquake
