Last weekend, Grant and his girlfriend went to 5th Annual Silent Night Deaf Ministry Scholarship Benefit at Lover Lane United Methodist Church (LLUMC) in Dallas. This is his 2nd time to attend – last time, he went there and watched World First Deaf Solo Rode Sailboat around the World presentation.
It was enjoyment overall along silent auction, entertainment, presentation, and wonderful dinner & dessert including brief presentation from DISD Trustee Dr. Edwin Flores. Grant won one of the bidding, he received “A VIP Wine Tasting Event for 20” event worth $750 according to certification. He never been there before and looking forward to it!!
Kudo to Rev. Dr. Tom Hudspeth and his team for wonderful event again!
Also, she kept saying how important that parent stay activity in their deaf children during school times. It is clearly that our community has a long way to go. Katie’s dream is to establish an unbiased information network to all parents of deaf children. Yes, that would include sign language, cochlear implant, hearing aid, oral methods, etc. The Bottom line is to get best communication and education for deaf children.
It does of the highest importance that parent understand what it takes to raise deaf children otherwise the children will be lost forever.
If you live in Texas and want to get with Miss Deaf Texas Katie Murch for show and presentation, contact them!! Grant promised it is best investment you ever get for your local event, whether it is for deaf or hearing audiences.

Thank you Grant, I’m glad you came to see Silent Night Benefit Dinner. I was very pleased with Miss Deaf Texas’ presentation. She is a wonderful ambassador and advocate for the Deaf in Texas. She has less than one year left in her reign. I encourage other Deaf churches, groups, and schools to invite Ms. Murch to be a guest speaker for them. Groups can make arrangements for a visit from Miss Deaf Texas through Ms. Teri Levine at terri@missdeaftexas.com. Teri is the director of Miss Deaf Texas.
Grace and peace, Rev. Dr. Tom Hudspeth
Grant!
Thank you for your kind words. I am very happy to hear that others and you enjoyed my speech. I was hoping I wouldn’t bore everyone with my determination of improving deaf education. Tom and his crew did a great job with the event. I was very pleased with what I won at the silent auction.
I was truly blessed with God for this opportunity. I hope I inspired enough people to make a difference and work towards a better future for our deaf children.
It was great to see you and I truly enjoyed myself. I hope to see you and Katie again soon. Also, keep up the great work with deafnetwork.com and being a role model for other deaf people!
