The Starfish Story The grandmother sits back quietly as she watches hundred of starfish wash up on shore, the ;de leaving them behind to die. She
looks across the beach to see her li?le granddaughter rushing towards the hundreds of starfish. As fast as the li?le girl can, she picks up one starfish at a ;me and begins throwing them back into the ocean. The grandmother in such dismay calls out to the li?le girl, "Hey, can't you see that's an endless ba?le. You can't make a difference. There are way too many." The li?le girl, never stopping to
address her grandmother, reaches down and picks up another starfish, throws it back into the ocean and yells back to her grandmother , "Made a difference for that one."

Dear Patrons & Guests,
Thank you for coming to DeafHope's 6th annual Glimmer of Hope dinner tonight. In the spirit of new leaderships here in our country, we'd like to carry this kind of spirit over to DeafHope. President Obama proclaimed that we chose hope over fear, he said it right. When the name for DeafHope was discussed at the very beginning, we unanimously agreed that HOPE is a powerful word. To hope for better life, for better tomorrows, for violence free lives, for healthier families and relationships, and simply to have hope that things will work out the way it should. We chose not to give in and allow age old society to dictate how violence in the homes and on the streets is acceptable. We chose hope over fear by saying "Enough is enough" and to push for new changes. If we can turn around our economy, build relationships with other countries, and be more environmentally conscious, then we can do this. I am thinking that when Thomas Edison said, "Success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration" I can only think how important VISUALIZATION is and the ACT of doing it. Once we see what we want based on how we are inspired, we must go out all the way to get it accomplished. We are inspired by your presence here tonight. We are inspired by our VIP waiters who take on the challenge to raise money through tips. We are inspired by the creativity poured into this event. We are inspired by our survivors and their stories. It is not to say any less of you all being 10%, give or take, -‐ you all play an important role in igniting the fire under us to keep going. INSPIRATION is a necessity. A flame cannot be burned without the act of ignition. And now, because of all the inspiration and support we have and will keep receiving, we will continue to roll up our sleeves and tread the path toward our ultimate goal-‐ for social changes, Deaf Women Space, and for Deaf women and children to live violence free lives.
DeafHopefully Yours, Kate Kovacs

Dear Starfish Community,
DeafHope's Purple Sea of Dreams is about the spirit of dreaming big for a better world!! Looking around tonight, there is a purple sea of people, including yourself, here to support DeafHope's dream.
Deaf survivors have shared their difficult situations because shelters in California are not accessible to American Sign Language and the system is not culturally designed for Deaf people. Deaf survivors find themselves having to advocate for their rights instead of focusing on healing from violence.
At times it seems easier to stay with the abuser, who is part of the Deaf community, than to deal with access issues.
My heart breaks for the children taken away from their Deaf mothers because of "failure to protect" from abusive partners. Where can mothers go to protect their children? Our system sets up Deaf survivors for failure, putting them, as well as their children, at greater risk for fatality. There is no place here in California where Deaf survivors can just "be" and focus on healing.
Deaf survivors' stories inspired the DeafHope Board of Directors and staff with a big dream -‐-‐ a residential building for abused Deaf women and their children, where they can live without fear, called A Door To Hope. Exactly one year ago, this dream was just drawings, collages, and scribbles of what we would like to see. Now it has materialized into a 3-‐D model. The vision is passionately clear, shared by many in our very own Deaf community! Many thanks to Hansel Hope and Hope Mitnik, architects who specialize in Deaf Space. They heard our dreams and captured what we envision so eloquently.
Tonight I am excited to announce that our capital campaign's first phase has come to a close. We are starting our second phase -‐to find and purchase a five acre property for our Door to Hope in southern Alameda county (Castro Valley, Dublin, Pleasanton). There is a total of five phases, each phase is approximately one year long. Our goal is to own the property before our 7th Annual Glimmer of Hope in 2010!The Starfish Story shared tonight is a constant reminder that one person at a time can make a difference for one survivor at a time. Each one of you is a starfish contributing to DeafHope's Purple Sea of Dreams. Thank you for being here tonight to dream big for a place of our own -‐ our "Door To Hope".
In spirit of Starfish, Julie Rems-‐Smario, Executive Director

Jennie Batchelder I'm happy to support Deaf Hope in the ongoing work they do for our community, our world. Violence, especially against womyn & children, is an all too common occurrence that receives minimal attention from our society. The responsibility rests on all of our shoulders to create a better & brighter world, and it is realized through our collective energy & dreams. It is my pleasure to serve you tonight. Bon appétit.

NinaMade Handbag Frida Kahla Fabric PaBerns and Black Leather
Description: Every NinaMade bag is a unique creation. I design and sew each bag by handout of "upcycled" materials that I have collected over the past thirty years. Constructed primarily from vintage fabrics, leathers, and vinyl, my bags combine contrasting textures, colors, and materials into original creations. Bags might juxtapose modern industrial materials, such as deconstructed advertising banners, with vintage bark cloth, or combine salvaged leather with contemporary comic book influenced fabric. Designs vary by shape and function, including purses, messenger, laptop, tote, diaper, and shopping bags. Made by Nina Gelfant. Market Value: $140

Tom Wood PrimiVve Folk ArVst
“Deaf Heritage” book, published in 1981, page 153:
Tom Wood said “I love wood, to assemble it, carve it, and sometimes to decorate it. It is my whole life.” Wood was born in England in 1902. He became deaf at 18 months as a result of an attack of scarlet fever and whooping cough. He moved to Canada and attended a school or the deaf in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He attended Gallaudet College for one year. Then he worked in the U.S. Government Printing Office for 25 years. Tom had no formal art training. He had his own conceptions of art. His works uniquely display the craftsmanship of wood carving, wood tesserae, and sculpture. They were done in different kinds of wood from all over the world. Most of his works are in the forms of water birds, turtles, llamas, camels and other animals. He did art symbols from his own imagination. He had his first one-‐man show at the Art Gallery, Riverside City College in California.

Robin Mills My exposure to the arts began at birth; I come from an artistic family with a mother who is an abstract painter and a brother who is also an accomplished photographer. Since childhood, I’ve spent many years studying various art forms such as dance, drama, Hopi silver smiting and ceramics at The Idyllwild School of the Arts. My interest in photography began in high school when I participated in class trips up and down the California coast photographing small towns, their inhabitants and environs. In the 1980s I began photographing dancers while studying and performing dance in Santa Cruz and Los Angeles. I have travelled extensively through Europe, Asia, SE Asia, Mexico, Central America, and British Columbia, which has provided many opportunities for photography. Over the years my subject matter interests have shifted between portraiture, urban and nature. More recently I have been drawn to macro (close up) photography. I am drawn to shape, line, color, texture and movement, and enjoy finding the design elements and hidden patterns in the minutia of macro photography. My other artistic endeavors include fused glass and fiction writing, and I am always adding to the list. More of my work can be seen at: http://web.me.com/robinmills1/Robin_Mills/Welcome.html
