DSAW Family BBQ
DSAW headquarters opened up to host the first in-person program in over a year for the DSAW Family BBQ! Hot Off The Grill preformed awesome live music. We had yummy BBQ food, crafts, contests, and yard games. Thank you to the Self Advocate Committee for hosting the craft table and thank you to our volunteers who helped make the fun happen! Already looking forward to next year!
Virtual ASL Lesson from HEAR
Thank you so much to Ruth from HEAR for hosting a virtual ASL lesson with DSAW! Our participants loved learning the alphabet and requesting to learn the signs for their favorite words. We even learned how to sign “Milwaukee Bucks!”
DSAW Connects Highlight: Young Leaders
Participants in the Virtual Young Leaders class talked about friendship! They discussed what it takes to be a good friend and what to look for in friendships.
The group also participated in a multi-day discussion about different types of people you might meet while at your job: managers and different types of co-workers and customers. The group is working on learning how to manage those different types of relationships.
