Hello! It's already February! Time has flown by quickly since July, when the NAD Conference was held in Philadelphia, PA. It has been seven months since I have been crowned as Miss Deaf America Ambassador! In January, the NAD Board met in Austin, Texas. It was an exciting experience for me to observe their board meeting. The NAD also held a fundraiser where a variety of cupcakes, donated by various bakeries, were auctioned! I truly enjoyed that event.
