Yours\, Evelina Gaina Red Carpet Event Planner   "Versa Effect" synopsis:   From their childhood years to working at a Deaf school in Texas\, Jackie and Seth have always love to...HATE each other! The fact that they are working closely in the same school did not help matters. For all their bad blood with each other\, something bad had happened to them: their bodies have been switched! What follows is a series of laugh-a-minute hijinks as Jackie and Seth struggle to get back to their bodies. Because of that\, they have no choice but to work together in order to save themselves. With time running out\, Jackie and Seth must find a way to get back in their bodies before they get stuck in the opposite sex of bodies forever!  Versa Effect is the first comedy film directed by the venerable Mark Wood LOCATION: URL:http://www.deafcal.com/california/event/asl-films-versa-effect-red-carpet/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20110701 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20110704 DTSTAMP:20120519T210010 CREATED:20110628T191141 LAST-MODIFIED:20110628T191141 UID:372@http://www.deafcal.com/california SUMMARY:Annual Convention - Program in ASL DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend the following event: Beginning Friday\, July 1\, through Sunday\, July 3\, 2011 Jehovah's Witnesses will hold their annual convention at the Fairfield Assembly Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.

DESCRIPTION:Summer is approaching!  California Lions Wilderness Camp for Deaf Children\, Inc. offers a  week-long overnight camp at no cost for all Deaf and hard-of-hearing children.  Register your child now! The mission of Lions Camp is to provide “a camp experience sponsored by the Lions Clubs of California where Deaf children\, ages 7 to 15\, can learn outdoor skills and enjoy the wonder and beauty of nature to the fullest extent.”  Furthermore\, Lions Camp is a place for your child to continue developing social skills\, explore personal growth\, and build a strong sense of self within the Deaf community. Lions Camp also provides a leadership program\, Counselor-In-Training (CIT)\, for teenagers\, ages 16 and 17 years old.  CITs must apply online and are selected based on several criteria.  Lions Camp holds true to the standard of social inclusion for all staff\, volunteers\, and campers.  All Deaf and hard-of-hearing children are welcome regardless of their modes of communication.  Many of our staff members are Deaf.  Therefore\, the camp is primarily conducted in sign language.  An understanding of basic sign language and/or the ability to adapt to a different language environment is conducive to a camper’s enjoyment.  Some hard-of-hearing and hearing staff will be working at the camp.   Interpreters will also be available throughout the week at selected activities.     While this camp is free of charge for all Deaf and hard-of-hearing children\, there is a $30.00 non-refundable fee to hold your child’s place at camp.  If you send in your application AFTER the registration deadline\, there is a $100.00 late fee.  If the camp is at full capacity when we receive your application\, you will be notified and your child will be placed on the waiting list.  North Camp-Ross Relles Deadline:  July 3rd\, 2011  Hearing siblings may attend Lions Camp.  However\, parents must pay a fee of $400.00 for a hearing sibling to attend camp since our primary objective is to provide Deaf and hard-of-hearing children with a free camp experience.    If the fee has been paid BEFORE the deadline and space is available\, hearing siblings will be accepted.   Applications and camp information are available on our website <www.lionswildcamp.org>.  If you are unable to apply online\, please send us a letter requesting a paper application.  If you have additional questions or concerns\, email the Camp Program Director <rjmix8@gmail.com> or the camp <campinfo@lionswildcamp.org>.
