You're Invited To The Miracle Gala 2014!

You're invited to attend an exciting, inspirational fundraising dinner -- The Miracle Gala 2014!  

It's to support a most worthy cause -- A.G. Bell Montessori School (AGBMS) & Alternatives In Education for the Hearing Impaired (AEHI), where deaf and hearing children are mainstreamed and excel through Cued Speech. Your support provides vital programs that help children from ages 15 months through 12 years be able to learn successfully together.

Never heard of Cued Speech?  That the challenge!  Cued Speech has been proven to enable deaf children to achieve high literacy and learning, but tight budgets and lack of knowledge have prevented Cued Speech from being widely known.  At the Gala, we'll have dining, entertainment, a silent auction, and awards to three recipients who are achieving major strides through Cued Speech.  You'll get to meet many fascinating people who are involved in transforming the lives of children across the state of Illinois.

As the Superintendent at the Illinois School for the Deaf said, "Cued Speech in a bilingual environment provides educational justice for all students."

You can learn more, purchase a ticket, become a sponsor or donate a gift certificate by visiting:  www.miraclegala.com.  (All donations are tax deductible.)  Discover more about the school at:  www.agbms.org.)

Thanks for your interest and support!  It will be a wonderful event!
