Dear Friends, family, adults and kids of the Deaf community,
An exciting and unique event is coming to Vancouver!
I, Moe Nasri have been working for a few years now with a
professional Deaf Theatre company in the Czech Republic, and we are
finally bringing our group to tour in Canada. We will be showing one
children’s performance, and two showings of an adult performance.
Both of the performances are very easily understood by hearing and
Deaf, there’s no need for interpretation.
On May 1st and 2nd, the performances will be taking place at the
Vancouver Community College auditorium, made possible by Vincent
Chauvet and the program of Sign Language and Deaf Studies.
There will even be a great opportunity for socializing after the
adult performance on May 1st, we will hold a social reception party.
Take a look at the website signlanguage@vcc.ca for ticket
information and come out to see something that you wont see very
often! A Deaf Theatre from Europe in your own hometown!
Can’t wait to see you there.
Moe

Missing deaf man found safe in Alaska
By Daily Courier Staff
Friday, April 24, 2009
The deaf man reported missing last week hitchhiked to Alaska and is staying with a friend.
Peter Perry, 61, left Kelowna without telling anyone on April 14. His disappearance prompted a police investigation. He managed to travel most of the way to Anchorage in one ride, said Midge Close, who interprets for Perry at their church. The friend he‘s with contacted Perry‘s wife, Debbie, on Tuesday.
“They don‘t have a lot of information on why he left,” Close said. “He‘s a very private individual – very friendly to people – but he doesn‘t share a lot of what‘s going on inside of him.”
Perry attended a deaf church in Anchorage. Kelowna lacks a church for deaf people.
He and his wife communicated by videophone on Wednesday night.
This is from today, Tuesday’s, front page of the Kelowna Daily Courier…

Kelowna RCMP are searching for a missing deaf man.
Peter Michael Perry, 61, left his home on Brighton Road on April 14.
Constable Steve Holmes says Perry is deaf, and relies on an electronic device to communicate.
“He is described as Caucasian, 5’8″ tall and 175 lbs. He has a thick grey beard and is believed to be wearing a dark blue nylon jacket and brown rimmed glasses. He has blue eyes and brown hair,” says Holmes.
He says they do not believe foul play is involved.
Anyone who may have seen Perry is asked to contact the RCMP.
