Photos from our annual Super Bowl party
February 2010
(see description below)
Our now-annual Super Bowl party once again returned to the Pacific Palisades in February.
You didn't have to enjoy football to enjoy the fun — but it didn't hurt, either — especially with a game as exciting as the one between the New Orleans Saints (the HLA favorite, by far) and the Indianapolis Colts.
There was plenty of good food, good fun and over-hyped commercials — and a great mix of new and familiar faces.

HLA-LA Hearing
Loss Association of America is the nation's largest organization
for people with hearing loss. HLA-Los Angeles is one of more
than 200 chapters nationwide and our mission is to open the
world of communication through information, education, advocacy
and support.
We want you to know that you are not alone.
It is estimated that 1 out of 10 of us has some
degree of hearing loss and this loss impacts every aspect of
our lives. Our goal is to educate ourselves, our families, friends,
co-workers, teachers, hearing health care providers, government
agencies and others about hearing loss. While we promote the
concept of self-help, we work to sensitize the general population
about the special needs of those with hearing loss, it's nature
and causes.
