BCIC Blog #4 June 27, 2020
It has been quite a learning experience, hosting our recent Bliss meetings on zoom!
I am including in this blog the link to a short video clip from our April 24, 2020 meeting and the “CHAT" from our June 25 meeting. Our conversation ranges from trouble shooting in using zoom, to checking out new Bliss-words, to sharing news. I hope, as time progresses, and we gain more experience with zoom, that we will devote more time to news and learning Bliss!
We had a guest at our April meeting - Lynnette Norris, and we watched a video together that she had shared. It showed young children who had severe hearing losses, as they HEARD for the first time! Exciting! It made us think of what it was like, to COMMUNICATE for the first time!
At our June meeting, we shared memories of events in our childhood. Nice to reminisce together!
I hope this blog will be used for lots of reminiscing. I invite our Bliss alumni and friends to send me news or ideas that they would like to share. Blissymbols suggestions or requests are always welcome as well! I will see that they are placed in our “Blissful Thoughts” Blog.
Remember…..
