Hi - This is Leticia Dominguez and I am a workshop coordinator at the 
conference, we are having our second annual Deaf Latino conference and 
it will be in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am including two attachments 
and hope you will be able to be part of this conference. If you know 
anyone who would be great presenters at our conference, please pass it 
along to someone or perhaps to have yourself to share with us about 
your project - SignWriting Literacy and how your children react and any 
academic barrier because of cultural or something... I am very much 
interesting with this topic and would like to hear more of this. I am 
sure the participators would learn something from this.
  I am currently a teacher at California School for the Deaf, Riverside 
where it has large population of Latino Deaf children there. I hope to 
meet you in person someday.

Gracias,
Leticia Dominguez
