American Sign Language Services had a table at this years FRID state conference in Daytona Beach, and were also the conferences Badge sponsor.
Read more for some highlights of the event with pictures.
Gabrielle, Vannessa, Katie, Justin, Jennifer and Kerry Ann ran the Exhibit table.
As with past events, the wheel was a big hit. A number of people hit bonus, but with ASL Services, everyone is a winner - numerous pens, first aid kits, and message boards were won.
There were many workshops including ones about the new NIC test, and a CDI workshop.
Vannessa bought raffle tickets to win an ipod nano, but someone snatched them. The only way for her to get them back was by putting her hair in clips.

LONG-DISTANCE KEYS
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, and you have remote-control entry, call someone on your cell phone (or borrow one). Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person on the other end of the phone press the "unlock" button of your key-fob clicker, holding it near the phone on their end. Your car doors will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object -- you could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other remote for your car, you can unlock the doors or the trunk! -- Rachel, via e-mail

ICE
Some things we don't like to think about but this seems like a good idea
ICE - In Case of Emergency A campaign encouraging people to enter an emergency contact number in their mobile phone's memory under the heading ICE (In Case of Emergency), has rapidly spread throughout the world as a particular Consequence of last week's terrorist attacks in London.
Originally established as a nation-wide campaign in the UK, ICE allows paramedics or police to be able to contact a designated relative / next-of-kin in an emergency situation. The idea is the brainchild of East Anglian Ambulance Service paramedic Bob Brotchie and was launched in May this year. Bob, 41, who has been a paramedic for 13 years, said: "I was reflecting on some of the calls I've attended at the roadside where I Had to look through the mobile phone contacts struggling for information on a shocked or injured person. Almost everyone carries a mobile phone.
Now, and with ICE we'd know immediately who to contact and what number to ring. The person may even know of their medical history." By adopting the ICE advice, your mobile will help the rescue services quickly contact a friend or relative - which could be vital in a life or death situation. It only takes a few seconds to do, and it could easily help save your life. Why not put ICE in your phone now? Simply select a new contact in your phone book, enter the word 'ICE' and the number of the person you wish to be contacted.
