If you are planning to attend this event, we need for you to RSVP as soon as possible by sending an e-mail to MCDHH@mcdhh.mo.gov. The reason we request your RSVP is so that we can make sure to have enough refreshments and seats for all attendees, and because we have limited seating available. In addition, certified/licensed interpreters expecting to receive CEUs must RSVP in order to be issued credit for their attendance.

The following information is required for MCDHH to consider your RSVP request as successful:

• Name
• Address
• Contact Information (Phone Number and/or E-mail Address)
• Hearing Status (Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Deaf-Blind, Hearing, etc.)
• Accommodations Needed (such as ASL Interpreter, CART, special dietary needs, etc.)

The Missouri Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing will provide CART and ASL/English Interpreting Services, however, if your communication needs go beyond these services, please let us know in advance, by no later than Friday, January 20, 2012, so that suitable arrangements can be made.

See you there!
