| PRESS RELEASE |
| BRANSON OPENS IT'S ARMS TO THE DEAF AND HARD-OF-HEARING. "PaH!" |
| |
Branson, MO - (January 16, 2008) Signed Entertainment Enterprises, LLC (S.E.E.) is a new
organization with groundbreaking ideas. Randy Boude, Founder and CEO of
S.E.E. believes the Deaf should be allowed to enjoy shows and entertainment
WITH their [hearing] family and friends, and not be left at home.
With very LITTLE investment, a business can obtain the tools to make Deaf
customers welcome. Innovative Branson restaurant owners, entertainment
venues and other establishments have consulted with S.E.E. and are making
Deaf welcome. S.E.E. is a supporter of The Deaf Welcome Foundation, the
501(c)(3) tax exempt public charity, that is opening Deaf Welcome Centers across the country.
"There are an estimated 25 million Deaf in America," Theressa DuBois,
Founder & CEO of The Deaf Welcome Foundation explained. With over 200,000
Deaf in the state of Missouri, and another 2.5 million in the surrounding
states, it makes good economic sense, for businesses in Branson to make Deaf
welcome."
The MISSOURI DEAF WELCOME CENTER will feature Sign Language tours, an art
gallery, Sign Language shopping and public videophones for instant access to
FREE certified interpreters. The charity is currently searching for a
Branson location to broadcast their Sign Language Television show, EQUAL
ACCESS, and bring even more tourists and Deaf entertainers to town.
"We want Branson to be the national profile for other American cities. We
have already received calls from Las Vegas and Pigeon Forge about making
Deaf welcome there, as well." Boude added "It is privilege to ensure the
Deaf and Hard-of-hearing have equal access to Branson professionals,
performances, service and amenities." DuBois said, adding the sign, "PaH!"
meaning "At last!"
