Greetings everyone,
I begin this newsletter with a sad note that Deafvideo.tv website has become infected with a behavioral syndrome that has caused Aslrocks.net website to crash and close. People from Aslrocks.net simply flocked to Deafvideo.tv website and then shortly afterwards they started spewing out their trademark bullying language in their new home. This is very critical because the owner of Deafvideo.tv happens to be married to an attorney employed by the National Association of the Deaf. Therefore it is a safe bet that this infectious behavioral syndrome will spread into the National Association of the Deaf. So when the National Association of the Deaf becomes a bully, the entire deaf community loses big time. All efforts must be taken to ensure this infectious behavioral syndrome stops at Deafvideo.tv and not spread to National Association of the Deaf because it's the home, the soul, the fire, and the power of the deaf community.
We are cranking up our Meetup program to meet again at a local restaurant starting this coming May. We have 3 meetup groups. They are;
1) The Orange County Deaf & Hearing Impaired Meetup Group (148 members) http://www.meetup.com/deaf-38/

The Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center is a community based organization that
puts people with disabilities first in their advocacy for equal opportunities in
safety, health, and productive living.
The Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center provides services for disabled
individuals and their families in our community who need help in navigating the
social services maze. Every day people go without proper food, shelter, and
essential medical care every day due to a variety of factors including low
wages, job loss, injuries, illness, age, domestic violence, or divorce. While
all of us are susceptible to hard times, disabled individuals are at the most
risk. With the generous support of people like you, we are able to help many of
these families and individuals not only to meet essential daily needs, but to
work toward a brighter future with programs in job training, education,
counseling, elderly assistance, and temporary housing.

Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center Newsletter - February 6, 2011
Greetings everyone,
Let's start this newsletter with a short commentary to CSI's "The Two Grissoms"
episode. The commentary will bring up an interesting observation.
The MVP goes to the TTY which was shown twice in the show as a communication
device in a deaf person's dorm and in a deaf person's workplace. Introduced over
30 years ago the TTY's are still being used by the majority of the deaf
community. Lacking in it's place, the videophone which have been around for
almost a decade has failed to gain the attention of the Hollywood moguls as a
communication device for the deaf.
Our service statistics for the year 2009 and 2010 have been posted at our
website. This is raw data. Take the opportunity to see our transparency and see
who comes to us for help, and what we did to help them. And then please
consider making a donation to us.
Next newsletter is in two weeks.

The Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center is a community based organization that
puts people with disabilities first in their advocacy for equal opportunities in
safety, health, and productive living.
The Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center provides services for disabled
individuals and their families in our community who need help in navigating the
social services maze. Every day people go without proper food, shelter, and
essential medical care every day due to a variety of factors including low
wages, job loss, injuries, illness, age, domestic violence, or divorce. While
all of us are susceptible to hard times, disabled individuals are at the most
risk. With the generous support of people like you, we are able to help many of
these families and individuals not only to meet essential daily needs, but to
work toward a brighter future with programs in job training, education,
counseling, elderly assistance, and temporary housing.
Feel free to forward this email message IN ITS ENTIRETY to anyone and any of

Let's start this newsletter with a short commentary to CSI's "The Two Grissoms"
episode. The commentary will bring up an interesting observation.
The MVP goes to the TTY which was shown twice in the show as a communication
device in a deaf person's dorm and in a deaf person's workplace. Introduced over
30 years ago the TTY's are still being used by the majority of the deaf
community. Lacking in it's place, the videophone which have been around for
almost a decade has failed to gain the attention of the Hollywood moguls as a
communication device for the deaf.
Our service statistics for the year 2009 and 2010 have been posted at our
