We All Smile In The Same Language

Each year, the last full week of September is Deaf Awareness Week; a time to recognize and celebrate the culture, history, language and community unique to Deaf people worldwide.

During this week many organizations for Deaf and hard-of-hearing people will organize marches, debates, campaigns, meetings and celebrations to promote the rights of Deaf people, dispel misconceptions of being Deaf, and bring to light the challenges Deaf people face during everyday life.

This year, Perspectives Corporation will celebrate Deaf awareness by joining the Rhode Island Parent Information Network (RIPIN) and the RI Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) for the second annual Family Fun Day at the Park!

To commemorate the event, Graphic Perspective has designed these fun and attractive t-shirts for volunteers and participants.

Perspectives Corporation is the largest human services agency in the State of Rhode Island, providing a multitude of services for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

Graphic Perspective is a subsidiary of Perspectives, employing people with disabilities to create high-quality printed and embroidered apparel for local businesses and events.

Family Day At The Park will be held on Saturday, September 21st from 12:00-3:00pm at Goddard Memorial State Park in East Greenwich, RI. Bring your family for food, art & crafts, face painting, volleyball, ASL storytelling, and more fun outdoor activities! ASL Interpreters will be provided.

Graphic Perspective Joins a Maritime Tradition

In September, 2013, The Saunderstown Yacht Club in Rhode Island will host the 52nd Consecutive Bullseye National Championship, a yearly race for sailing vessels on the Eastern seaboard.

This year's regatta will be held near the birth place of the 12-1/2 hull shape vessel, a sailing and racing ship designed and built by master naval engineers in Bristol, Rhode Island more than 100 years ago.

The Saunderstown Yacht Club is a privately owned club situated on the banks of the west passage of Narragansett Bay. Founded in 1927, the club's purpose has been to promote the enjoyment of the resources of the bay.

Graphic Perspective, an ancillary of Perspectives Corporation, is proud to join the Saunderstown Yacht Club in participating in this historic occasion by providing a suite of custom embroidered and printed garments and patches for the time-honored event.
