Come and Join Us for Mom’s Night Inn

Manicures!

Imagine kicking back with a room full of moms. Moms who are raising deaf and hard of hearing children of all ages. Moms just like you.

Yes, that’s right. If you’re a Mom of a child who is deaf or hard of hearing, you’re invited to join a bunch of us gathering for Mom’s Night Inn, hosted by Illinois Hands & Voices.

What’s Mom’s Night Inn? It’s a weekend retreat/workshop filled with crafts, manicures, massages and…chocolate. While we’re having fun, we’re exchanging our stories, learning from one another and learning from deaf and hard of hearing adults. This year, we’re going to examine what we’ve learned on this journey of raising deaf and hard of hearing kids. We have a panel of deaf and hard of hearing adults who will be sharing how their parents’ choices shaped their own journey and career choices.

Julie Vassilatos, a mom who attended last year for the first time, took the time to write about her experience and pretty much sums up what you can expect from a Mom’s Night Inn:

Mom’s Night Inn, January 2008

The upcoming event will be held on January 24th and 25th, 2009 at the Hilton Lisle/Naperville hotel. And guess what, that hotel has a pool and a hot tub! If you want to join this fantastic event, you’ll have to hurry and register by December 15 to take advantage of the early bird rate. After December 15, the rate goes up. Space is limited– we like to keep it small enough so that we each get to know each other.
