Deaf Digest: Bargain PAD membership dues
Membership dues at hearing clubs can be real expensive – somewhere between $250.00 and $1,000 and even higher. The Pittsburgh Association of the Deaf, one of the nation’s most respected deaf clubs, recently
posted a list of its revised membership dues. To make it short, for active members it is $45.00 per year. It is a huge bargain as compared to other hearing clubs and hearing societies. Yet, it is sad that some deaf people feel that $45.00 is VERY expensive! These same deaf people don’t complain that Starbucks can be more expensive.

To all PAD member, friends, officers, family, and deaf community:
I want to thank you all for giving me opportunity to serve you the year of 2014 and look forward to continuing to 2015. Its been a great year and lots of new good memories created. Not to mention a successful year. I promise to continue to contribute and hard work hard to make another successful year. Also look forward to more great memories being made. Team work is important and its been a true pleasure to work with some of our members and friends. I’m proud of you all. They say “home is where the heart is”, well aside from my home with my family, When I walk into PAD, I feel “there’s no place like home”. I’m honored to be apart of the PAD family. Thank you!
