Our annual holiday party for families with deaf and hard of hearing children took place on December 12. It was a huge success! The event, co-sponsored by Hands & Voices and CSDB, has become very popular! Over 40 families filled our building for the party. Those who were able to come enjoyed meeting Santa, decorating cookies, and hearing Christmas stories. The local media stopped by and featured the event on the evening news.

This event was made possible through the generous support and partnership of Colorado Families for Hands & Voices and the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind. Thank you for your passion!

The Columbine Sertoma Club in Aurora donated the children's books that Santa and his elves distributed to each child at the party. Thank you, Columbine!

Finally, many volunteers offered their time and energy to whip up bowls of frosting, hang decorations, play with the children, and clean up afterward. Thank you for giving back and demonstrating the true spirit of the holidays!

Richard "Dick" Gray joined the Marion Downs Hearing Center Foundation Board inSeptember 2008. Dick Gray graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in geology and petroleum engineering. His interests in botany and chemistry evolved into a lifelong attention to the environment that led to a specific concern about the quality of freshwater. Dick was the Founder and Chairman of the Zero-Max industries, Chief Executive Officer of IDS Mutual Fund, and in 1968, the founder of the Freshwater Society. He founded the Minnesota Weatherguide Environment Calendars which are distributed throughout the country. Dick is currently a part of the University of Minnesota Biotechnology Institute.

Dick is Marion Down's partner and the two of them enjoy spending time with their families in Colorado and in Minnesota, as well as vacationing at their home in Arizona.
