TSDAA President’s Annoucement
Hello TSDAA Alumnus, friends, and everyone,
I regret to notify you all that I have making a final decision to resign as President from TSDAA because I want to do best for this organization. Lately, I was busy with the Z Company tour as the driver that prevents me to do other duties. I realize that it is unfair to continue as your President of TSDAA while I am away from Texas.
It is best for the TSDAA board officers to make a decision to fill in the position of President.
TSDAA will plan to have a Founder’s Day in August as it is new event and trying for this year. I would encourage board members making a best plan for this event.
It is my pleasure to serve on TSDAA for numbers of years. I am asking you to please welcome Kent Kennedy, Vice-President, to take my place as temporary until end of this current term.
Best Regards,
Andrew O. Horn,
TSDAA President

The Honorable (PUT SENATOR’S FULL NAME HERE “FIRST AND LAST NAME”)
Texas State Senate – Capitol Station
P.O. Box 12068
Austin, Texas 78711
(TYPE IN TODAY’S DATE)
Dear Senator (LAST NAME),
My name is (YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME) from (CITY), Texas.
I graduated from Texas School for the Deaf last (MONTH AND YEAR OF YOUR GRADUATION AT TSD , EXAMPLE MAY OF 2008).
The Texas School for the Deaf has been very important to me and has played a very important role in the success of my adult life.
As an Alumnus of Texas School for the Deaf, I am very concerned about the proposed budget cut for Texas School for the Deaf. All deaf children deserve the best public education. As a state funded school, the Texas School for the Deaf does not have a tax base, therefore we depend on you to provide what is necessary for the deaf children’s educational needs.
The money you spend on Texas School for the Deaf makes a huge difference for the deaf children, who cannot get the direct communication access and specialized teaching in their local schools. The Texas School for the Deaf is unique and critical for all the deaf children there.
We want to see full funding for Texas School for the Deaf. The small amount of funding spent on the deaf school will pay dividends in the life of the deaf children in our communities. So, please do not cut the budget for Texas School for the Deaf.
Thank you sincerely for your time and effort,
