Now, Would AG Bell be there, for sure?



I think I have improved the video quality. Please give me feedback in the comment about the video quality, thanks.

Think about it...DeafRead bloggers and vloggers wrote a lot about AG Bell conference in Wisconsin a lot. They wrote about going there a lot. They even mentioned "see you there!" Also, mentioned how support they are for Deaf Bilingual Center. Oh, yes, I support DBC. I handwave to them.

Now, everyone is talking about this. Do you really think AG Bell not read our conversations in DeafRead? I think they do read DeafRead, and it is possible that they make plans to move another place secretly. Or, maybe make plan B, if they are staying the same place. Who knows what would happen there, but it is possible that the conference may be relocated. Do you get the message? I am concerned about that. Conversations are open in the public. Anyone can read the message.

Perhaps consider what you feel to do something about this. Thank you.

Oh, yes, AGBell do read our blogs and vlogs.

As far as I know, they are still going ahead with the convention at the designated area.

Hi there,

Yeah, I have been wondering about that, too. All we have to do is to wait and see. I feel they will not move out but who knows. If they move out, it will show that AGBell is weak and afraid. (possible AGBell's Archilles heel).

Hey!

Nice haircut! (sorry...but had to comment on it and you do look very nice!)

Anyway, like MZ said, they're still going ahead with the convention at the same place.

Yes, they do read DeafRead's v/blogs...

I thought Jill did a great job organizing in Indiana and it turned out very well!

AGBell do read our Vlogs and Blogs everyday.

AGBell have already spend tens of thousands of dollars on websites, reserved blocks of rooms at four hotels and other prepreparations.

On their(AGBell) google or yahoo group emails, members have talked about the concerns of confrontation by DBC.

DBC never have had any confrontations at AGBell's conference in Virginia, Colorado or Indiana rallies. The only bad confrontation between DBC and AGBell was at Virginia when Jenny Botero, Marriott hotel manager, grabbed the flyers out of an 8 year old Deaf girl and scratched her hand and tore up the flyers in front of her with an angry expression while on public sidewalk. The attitude of Jenny Botero seemed to be from the request of AGBell and its associate's desire. Another words, Jenny Botero wasn't "wearing the Marriott hat"

DBC will not have any plans to have confrontation with AGBell in Milwaukee and we will identified as a social awareness grassroot group to educate parents and public that all babies can learn a communicative language at start before they finally develop speech around 18 to 24 months.

DBC is not a biased group like AGBell, against sign language for babies and children in schools. All DBC does is to promote American Sign Language and have no policy to be against any other tools for the deaf babies or children in school despite some of its failures in the past 128 years.

Hi, MZ

That is nice to know up to date information, anyhow!

Susan A,

Yeah, anything can be possible. However the commenters claim otherwise, due to publication spending worthwhile.

David,

Glad I am not only the one. Why not them move out, har...to Mars! Huh?

Iammine,

I thought so for Jill. Excellent job. Wonder about our state, eh?

John,

Thanks for sharing the up to date information. Flash News how? just a regular blog on DeafRead, right?

Thanks ya'll! b-deaf
