May is Better Hearing and Speech month! Locally we have some fantastic resources. If you would like to volunteer for a worthwhile cause-now is the time. Plus there are always events at the League for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing right here in Nashville. Check them out-they would love to hear from you! Don't forget the Library Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing either. They are located in the downtown Nashville library and have an extensive cache of items available for checking out.
