Julie Riddle, founder of DeafColorado.org, was too modest to want this posted, so I made this post:
Recently, Julie went to Washington D.C. to meet and to be interviewed by some important people. In the end, she and two others have been recognized and are now official representatives of Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind, and Speech-Disabled in Colorado!
YAY, Julie! Big congratulations to you and to John Schoder and Daryl Branson as well!
