DPN 20th Anniversary Celebration

Our Dream Lives On

20th Anniversary DPN Banquet

Saturday, March 8th, 2008, 5 pm – 10 pm

Kellogg Center on Gallaudet Campus

www.dpn20.com

 In 1988 we had a dream, a dream for a Deaf president. Working together we made our dream come true. Twenty years later our dream lives on. Come join Greg Hlibok, Tim Rarus, Bridgetta Bourne-Firl and many others as we celebrate our heritage and what we can accomplish when we all work together. Let us make new dreams and work toward making these dreams come true. DPN20 promises to be an exciting event.

In conjunction with the DPN20 celebration a forum will be held Saturday morning, March 8th, from 8 am to 3 pm, “Making Gallaudet Strong: Recommendations from the Community.” This is a great opportunity for us to be proactive and give Gallaudet suggestions on what WE can do to increase student enrollment and enhance Gallaudet’s image.

We hope you will join us for this forum.Tickets for the 20th Anniversary DPN Banquet can be purchased on-line at www.dpn20.com and are just $70. After February 28th tickets are $90 and can only be purchased at the door (if available). There are only 250 tickets available so get your tickets soon.

A major corporate sponsor for the 20th Anniversary DPN Banquet is CSDVRS (www.csdvrs.com).  Additional sponsors are R&R Publishers, publishers of Triumph of the Spirit: The DPN Chronicle (www.triumphofthespirit.com), The Angel Ramos Foundation (www.angelramosfoundation.org), Deaf Life Magazine (www.deaflife.com) and DeafNation (www.deafnation.com). DeafNation will telecast the program throughout the nation via the internet.

What do you think? Should we celebrate or not?

    As I remember that there were FOUR leaders… Rarus, Hlibok, Bourne and Covell.

    Where is Jerry Covell? Is he a part of the celebration?

    Will anyone mind to explain why Covell’s name is not on this blog entry?

    Where IS Jerry Covell? If someone has his email, VP, home address PLEASE forward it to me at angelramos@aol.com . We want Jerry to be on the program but no one has been able to reach him.

    I found Jerry Covell, he is living in Springfield, Illinios, and I recently emailed Jerry’s VP# to Dr. Angel Ramos. Good luck, Angel for trying to kidnap Jerry and bring him to DPN20!

    Don’t ever leave Jerry Covell out!! He started this before Rarus, Hlibok and Bourne joined him.

    Hey, Anonymous. I agree Jerry was the first one on the scene. If you read my book, Triumph of the Spirit: The DPN Chronicle (www.triumphofthespirit.com) you will learn that I gave him full credit for being the first one. We offered to have him join DPN20 but he couldn’t make it. Let’s hope he joins us for DPN25.
