On Thursday, May 28th some of the Nevada local interpreters got together to chat and discuss the goings ons in the world.
If you want to host a Zoom get together for a group of interpreters or individuals in your local area, the Wild West Region is happy to help coordinate and support your efforts. Or when it's possible, the region can provide refreshments for an in-person event. If this is something that may interest you, fill out the survey on our Host an Event page! With many of us our facing extremely turbulent times right now, your Wild West Board wants you to know that we are here to support you. Though we may not be able to come together physically at this time, we can use the power of technology to gather together digitally and support one another.
Our "social hours" and other events are great places to join your board members and others to discuss ideas for how we can provide support to our Wild West membership during these trying times. Keep an eye for events like this in the future by following the Wild West Region on Facebook and checking our website Events page. Karaoke DJ & Deputy Director Blythe has taken the executive board's love for karaoke and brought it to the virtual world of NAI. Using our regional Zoom account and the beautiful voices of region members, we had some carthatic fun. Don't worry though, none of it is recorded and no one is forced you to sing.
