Meeting Monday, November 10th, 2008
Stacie Tidlund is a graduate of the Disability Studies program at Mount Royal College. In their last year of studies, the students were required to do a two week practicum helping people with disabilities. CHHA-Calgary sponsored Stacie so she could do her practicum in Malaysia working with people with hearing loss. Stacie will be presenting at the November meeting about hearing loss management in Malaysia. Everyone is welcome to attend the meeting. There is no charge for the meeting, but donations are gratefully accepted.
