Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter - Plant sale for deaf awareness
A new group is forming in an effort to heighten awareness about deaf culture.
The group’s first fundraising event will be a plant and flower sale from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 19, at Precious in His Site Daycare, 1501 North Rapids Road.
Only cash sales will be accepted.
Plants have been donated from neighbors’ yards. The group is still in need of additional plants for the sale.
Although the mission of the group is to educate the community about deafness in general, “it’s the deaf children who are in the most in need at this stage,” said Lisa Callsen, a group organizer.
“We are hoping to give deaf children an outlet so they can feel better about themselves,” said Diane Abbott, a group organizer. “Due to unavailable information, few social opportunities and few role models, parents are left without resources.”
Those interested in volunteering or donating plants for the sale can contact Lisa Callsen at 920-682-6995 or codadiva@yahoo.com.
