	Annual Meeting & Family Event For the last eight years, the Colorado Chapter has provided a family event for members to network and socialize. The event offers opportunities for parents to talk to parents who have older deaf or hard of hearing children and have experienced an IEP, a cochlear implant, or the transition from high school to college. Many oral deaf and hard of hearing adults participate and provide excellent role models for our children and inspiration for families. Professionals are able to share information and see some of those growing children they worked with in the past. Former event venues have included the Denver Zoo, Elitch's, Four Mile Historic Park, Wings Over the Rockies Museum, Bellview Park, and Harvard Gulch Rec Center. And to learn how to help with event coordination, please email us at info@coloradoagbell.org.
	Advocacy & Awareness This group of individuals is getting the word out about oral options for the deaf and hard of hearing. They attend conferences and conventions throughout the state of Colorado to share AGBell's mission. They are also involved in legislative issues and hot topics regarding the deaf and hard of hearing. Some current happenings include: 4Children's Hearing Aid Funding Coalition 4Cochlear Implant Coalition/Medicaid Funding 4H.E.A.R. Project - Helping to fund hearing aids for children If you are interested in helping, or want the latest information regarding opportunities to get involved, contact Regina Squibbs at sportsmomreg@aol.com.
	Fundraising Activities Semi-Annual Garage Sale A great way to raise funds and get together - volunteers participate by helping to pick up and deliver garage sale items, set up the night before, sell and clean up. The profits help fund grants which will be awarded to Colorado AGBell members to attend national AGBell conventions. Cherry Creek Arts Festival The popular Cherry Creek Arts Festival held each July has become one of the chapter's most successful fundraisers. The funds earned are used for Community Outreach Programs as well as future scholarships. For further information email us at mbart2000@comcast.net.
