SHEP’s Connection Corner
Steadily Growing!
We have 2 new SSPs! One in the Tulsa area and one in the OKC area!
Welcome Juli and Keri!
The rain sure has been showing out!
Wow! July? Already? This year has wings! The earth must be mighty thirsty because it has been raining and pouring. So sorry we had to cancel our zoo outing for June due to the weather. Perhaps we can reschedule in the fall before it is cold and when it is not so hot. Hey! Did you make it out to Tacos for Life on June 20th for our fundraiser night? They reported to us that we made $22.09! Thank you everyone! Now we have a donut fundraiser coming up. Krispy Kreme is where it’s at! Check social media and share, share, share! By using our link to order a dozen donuts we get 50% of every order. Think of how much we can provide for the DeafBlind community with these funds! The fundraiser is from July 10th to the 28th.
Here is the link to order your dozen of donuts: https://www.groupraise.com/.../11346-sight-hearing...
IamDB was so informative and fun packed in June. We learned about the braille printer and even had fun introducing learning braille and figuring out braille pictures through line art. Think you can figure out the art through just touch? Come check it out!
Be sure to check the calendar. See below for events that are coming up.
Don’t forget to send us an email with your birthday, etc.
July will be explosive!
