See Vlog Here

Dear DC Community and Friends,

On behalf of the Board, I am excited and pleased to share with you the great news that the DC Association of the Deaf (DCAD) website, DCdeaf.org, is progressing well to a new phase in 2008! This letter tells you more! Read on!

Thank you DeafDC.com!
The first thing I want to touch on is to remind you that for the past three years our friends at DeafDC.com has been hosting our website, DCdeaf.org. We send a big THANK YOU to Rob Rice and BayFirst for their wonderful support and web hosting services.

Announcing a new re-design of our website!
Starting this year we have moved our website to another web hosting site. This accomplishment has lead to an important decision to re-design our web page. See below for more information about this re-design.

Guess who our re-design team is!
This new re-design is the brainchild of a group of students at Gallaudet University, completed as part of a class project. We are simultaneously floored and excited with their creative design! THANK YOU!

The new re-design will be posted very soon!
But that’s not all the good news! During 2008 we will expand the new website to include new features to the new design. We believe you will find these changes and upgrades exciting and informative. Please remember that your feedback and comments on the new redesign are welcome! Scroll down to the end of this page for our email address. We regret that we won’t be able to personally answer your email, but we do promise that it will be read!

The search is on!
We are looking for committed people to join DCAD and to volunteer their creativity and skills. 2008 promises to be a brand new year full of fun and exciting projects. We have a lot of ideas that we would love to see happen. To make these ideas real we need YOU to be a part of our team! Tell us what you like to do and how you would do it. Check out our Volunteer Page!
