Misunderstanding

There may be a misunderstanding and/or miscommunication, but now her mind has been made-up-- Kim said St Patrick get-together is back on.

So please come to nominate yourself for positions and get involved with the people and plan for San Diego's future at Callahan's (same place where DPHH was hosted-- a coincidence!)

The more, the merrier. SPREAD THE WORD-- tell your friends about this website.

March 3rd meeting

After posting about meeting on this blog, mentioned on another blog, being announced via a yahoo!group "sandiego_deaf", mass-email to those who are interested-- only 8 people showed up. What is the issue here? Community apathy? Not spreading the word wide enough? Prehaps you can help us solving this myster by posting a comment...??

Our Second attempt at collecting more nominations for all positions for CAD will be conducted on March 17th, St Patrick Day. (Remember, just because there is one name to the position doesn't mean you cannot sign up-- we accept many nominations as we can for one position. So please contact klaule@tmail or leave a comment here to submit your self-nomination for whatever position you want for the committee/board. )

March 17th, St Patrick's Day from 4pm to 6pm, there will be a CAD get-together at Callahan's Pub and Brewery (Yes, the very same place for DPHH. A coincidence) in Mira Mesa.
The address is 8111 Mira Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92126


Come on down for the fun, meeting people, for food and drinks and SAME TIME, be involved with CAD!!!
We will try again with spreading words via this blog, emails, and flyers posted at DCS and passing out at deaf events, and YOU.
So spread the word for everybody to have a chance to partake in establishing CAD and get San Diego alive again!

First Official Meeting

On Feb. 3, 2007, a committee has been elected and approved as a chapter to represent the county of San Diego. The chapter's title is "Greater San Diego". The chapter is for California Association for the Deaf (aka CAD). We will perform as watchdogs and community center for our county where our members can come to learn and share our goals for the Deaf/HH community while enjoying our fun events that we will host in the future.

Membership form can be accessed on this web page where you can print out the form to be mailed along with the fees (maximum: 30$ for two years).

The committee is consisted of a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, membership director, and directors-at-large. More roles can be added and filled if needed at further meetings.

*****

The meeting on February 3rd was conducted to elect the committee. The president is Kim, the vice-president is Kirsi, the secretary is Melissa, the treasurer is Kristen, the membership director is Tara, and finally the directors-at-large are Clifton and Karyn.

What does each position of the committee do?
The president of a chapter is the REPRESENTATIVE of the chapter so you will go out and speak for San Diego, you will deal with issues and decide how to distrubate the duties to your committee, and work with the president of CAD to let them know what is happening in your region/county.

The vice-president of a chapter's responsibilites are to relay issues/information/situations to the president, manage the inner system of committee (you deal with treauser, secratry, et cetera directly), basically all the dirty work behind the curtains are done by you to keep the president informed.

The secretary is to write down meeting, important information et cetera so everybody in the chapter can check up for facts, statements, et cetera.

The treasuer is to take care of funds, budget the chapter, and host fundraisers if needed.
Membership director is responsible for recuriting, taking care of membership fee (see CAD website), and making sure people are up to the date with their membership.

Directors-at-large are two positions to be filled-- one to represent the north side of county, another to represent the south side of county. Both works with assignment by President or VP to investigate a complaint, a situation, et cetera-- be detectives whom then relay the details back to the president.

*****

There will be a meeting on March 3rd, 2007 to recruit members and conduct a discussion with what vision we should take up on. More information will be posted on this blog.

(There is a state-wide meeting for all CAD chapter hosted at CSU-Sacramento, however we are a fairly new chapter so we are exempted from attending the state-wide CAD meeting. )
