September marks Deaf Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the language, culture, and unique contributions of the Deaf community.

This serves as a valuable reminder of the importance of accessibility and inclusion in all that we do. I encourage us all to take this opportunity to learn more, by exploring the history and culture of the Deaf, and by advocating and ensuring that our future presentations include live captions.

Let's continue to strive to make our organization a place where everyone can fully participate.

20th to 29th September - International week of the Deaf

23rd September - International day of Sign Language

Camp Orenda and the Indiana PA Lions Club are committed to creating inclusive, ADA-compliant spaces for all.

It’s important to regularly reevaluate, stay humble, and keep listening — because accessibility isn’t a one-time goal, it’s an ongoing responsibility. ♿️💙

It’s been 35 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act—yet 😔

The ADA helped break down some barriers, but the fight for isn’t over.
