Photos from our semi-annual Halloween Bash,
October 2009
(see description below)
Following our normally scheduled October meeting (at which we screened the comedy classic "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" (with open captions, of course), the action shifted 10 miles due east to the home of Mike and Alicia.
It was the latest in what's become an HLA-LA tradition: a Halloween bash where dress-up is the rule and "have fun" is the standing order of the day. With more and more children joining our extended family (not to mention the hosts' own two-year-old daughter Samantha), the party was moved from nighttime to daytime with lots of family friendly features added (a crafts area for the little ones) to go along with all the food anyone could hope to stomach.
We've got dozens of photos up on Flickr, with a small sampling reproduced above. From top: Hostest Alicia and princess Samantha; Pat; State HLA president Mary Clark with her fellow Hogwarts hubby Gary; Chloe & son Gus in green; Georgia the good witch; Chapter President Kat, Pat and Danny; Heather, Janis and friend; and Jon and his sister in Dodger blue

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.
