Has anybody else heard of Signed Entertainment Enterprises (S.E.E.) and the work they've been doing to make Branson, Missouri the first deaf and hard of hearing friendly city, as far as tourist destinations go? My brother, Randy Boude, actually founded the company just a few months ago, but already he has gotten the support of nearly every corporation and deaf organization that he's spoken with. Just the fact that he has been out there pounding the pavement talking to all the theaters, restaurants, and shows there about making their establishments more deaf and hard of hearing friendly has caused even Branson's League of Theaters to sit up and take notice. Two or three establishments have already allowed themselves to be audited and have purchased TTYs and Face to Face communication devices, and several others have it in their first quarter budgets to do the same. The Deaf Welcome Center non profit organization is also nearly complete with Branson's first "Everyone is Welcome" center, which should have its grand opening at the end of this month.
Anyway, if word hadn't already gotten to you and your friends and relatives about what can only be described as "the movement" going on in Branson, I wanted to take this opportunity to spread the good news!
S.E.E.'s web site is S.E.E. - Signed Entertainment Enterprises . They have an awesome day trip planned for January 18th and 19th, too, that will include shows and meals at some of the establishments who are already deaf friendly.
Spread the news! Vegas is next!
