Dear friends and family of DeafHope,

DeafHope Board of Directors is proud to celebrate another great 2007 event! Our executive director, Julie Rems-Smario, was nominated as one of 18 “CNN Heroes” finalists.

There were six categories of heroes with three finalists per category. Julie was one of the three finalists for the Community Crusaders category. 7000 nominations were made from 93 countries, and only 18 were selected. This put DeafHope on the global map!
