Important Information: 10 digit numbers

22 01 2009

Yes, You Can!

Please take a moment to watch Hector Brual talk about how you, as a customer with freedom of choice can continue to call CSDVRS through your Sorenson videophone.  Click here for the video on our website.

 

Hello. Our theme for today is "Yes, You Can!" You may be wondering why I said it. With 10 digit numbers now all across the country, some people are wondering what to do about their 10 digit number. If you are a VP 100 or VP 200 user you should call Sorenson and get your local 10 digit phone number. You can still use CSDVRS! All you have to do is dial CSDVRS.TV! Maybe you have heard rumors about losing features if you use our service. That is not the case. You will still keep all your features and can still be able to use our service. When calling CSDVRS you will be connected to the most phenomenal interpreters out there!

¡SI SE PUEDE!

¡HOLA!  Nuestra tema para el día de hoy es ¡SI SE PUEDE!  Tal vez te preguntas ¿por qué decimos eso?  Con los nuevos números locales de diez dígitos que se consiguen por toda la nación, muchos se preguntan ¿qué se puede hacer con ese número de diez dígitos?   Si tienes un VP 100 o un VP 200, puedes llamar a Sorenson y conseguir tu número local de diez dígitos.  Aun así, puedes hacer llamadas através de nuestro servicio de HOLAVRS.  Lo único que tienes que hacer es llamar a HOLAVRS.TV  Tal vez hayas escuchado rumores de que perderías algunos servicios especiales si usas HOLAVRS.  No es así…  Puedes quedarte con tus servicios especiales y al igual, todavía podrás usar nuestro servicio de HOLAVRS.  Cuando llames a HOLAVRS, ¡te estaremos conectando con los intérpretes más fenomenales!

CSDVRS launched its inaugural video relay services (VRS) in 2000. By 2001, CSDVRS was the nation’s only 24-hours-a-day provider, and also the first to offer Spanish VRS, video mail and personal 800 numbers. CSDVRS was developed by and for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. While other providers have followed our lead, CSDVRS is dedicated to the same spirit of innovation and commitment to excellence that took VRS from a dream to reality, and has become the nation’s premier VRS provider.

Contributing Author: Donna Valverde
 

McAllen, Texas, October 9-11, 2008- Texas Latino Council of the Deaf and Hard of Hhearing (TLCDHH) hosted its 2nd biennial conference in McAllen, Texas at the Marriott Renaissance hotel, October 9 to 11, 2008. The theme of the conference was “Working Together for A Better Tomorrow”.
The purpose of this conference was to continue outreach and education for deaf and hard of hearing Latinos. During the 3-day event, various workshops, exhibits and social hour was filled with close to 100 attendees. Attendees enjoyed various workshops on education, stereotypes and culture such as El Dia De Los Muertos.
At the same time, Texas School for the Deaf hosted a Family Weekend Retreat for Valley parents and siblings of deaf students at Brown Middle School filled with educational activities and workshops targeted towards improving relationships with the deaf youth family member. Parents and high school students had an opportunity to participate in the conference activities for half a day.
The first Miss TLCDHH BONITA pageant, under the direction of Anabel Martinez, was established this year! The winner is Latasha Dupar of the Valley area! It was such “Una Noche Inolvidable” or in English, “An Unforgettable Night.”
The keynote speaker for the Saturday night banquet was Carla Garcia-Fernandez. In her brief but powerful speech, she called for experienced leaders to become MENTORS, not just rolemodels. The banquet dinner, entertainment and raffle drawing was a huge success and everyone truly enjoyed themselves..
The next biennial conference will be in 2010 with location to be determined. If you are interested in having your Texas city host the conference, contact TLCDHH at info@tlcdhh.org
