Birthdays, Anniversaries, and Celebrations

By Sallie Hussey on December 22, 2011

Happy Birthday, Alex! My niece is 21 today.  It’s a significant day, no one would argue.  I remember my twenty-first birthday.  I remember it mostly because the pictures document my bad eye-shadow and hair-style choices.  But it was the 80s. 

Big birthdays and anniversaries are something to celebrate and enjoy.  Those milestone occasions are a great opportunity to invite friends to share your joy and excitement for the future and reminisce. 

Next year Bridges plans to do just that.  We hope to celebrate our 85 years of serving the Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing communities and you’re invited. All the party plans aren’t complete just yet.  We know we want to take a look back, see where we’ve been, and acknowledge the changes we’ve made. We also want to applaud all those who have been a part of this agency over the years.  Of course no party is complete without cake and party streamers! Watch for details coming soon.  We have a lot to celebrate and a great future ahead of us.  Let us know if you want to help or just join in the merriment. 

Alex will probably have cake and party streamers today, too. I imagine she’ll do more celebrating than reminiscing.  After all, you’re only 21 once. 

Come see us soon.
