Kimberly Wood, President of GVAD with Mia Rasmussen, Youth Chairperson of GVAD and DNO.

Kimberly: Hello everyone, guess where we’re at?

Mia: We’re at the Taphouse in Guildford!

Kimberly: It’s a super neat pub! Very impressed.

Mia: I’m very happy you was impressed with me. I’m very excited to finally have the opportunity to host deaf night out.

Kimberly: Correct, it’s something to give back to the community.

Mia: I want all of you to feel included and make it enjoyable.

Kimberly: DNO was originally created by Landon Krentz. Landon wanted to focus on his theatre and acting career, which is the reason why he has given the responsibility to us. He had too much going on so it got overwhelming. We had struggled finding someone to host the event then Mia was very willing to take over the role. Personally, I had tried hosting DNO but it was diffcult so I explained that to Mia… and what happened?

Mia: I end up finding a way.

(talk over each other)

Kimberly: So, how did you end up finding this place?

Mia: I was discussing with my friends the other day about how I wanted everyone to be included. So for that reason, I wanted to find somewhere that has wheelchair accessibility. One.. well, actually two of them found the place. I was very excited about the results. I had asked the manager if it was possible to hold a large group and he said everyone is welcomed. It has been very smooth and I’m very happy about it.

Kimberly: We will have some games and 50/50 raffles. The 50/50 raffle fundraiser will go toward a program for deaf youth. This is good cause for young generations.

Mia: We need more youths those days.

Kimberly: So, this event will be held on November 24, at 7 pm

Mia: To closing

Kimberly: Yes, to closing,. Come for sport on big screen and some musics. Let us take you on a tour.
