Walking for Talking

The second annual Walking for Talking family walk celebrated the start of the 2007-2008 school year on Saturday, September 8th. In attendance were Board, Guild, students, former students and their families who walked for the benefit of the Omaha Hearing School.

When walkers returned to school, clowns were there to make balloon animals, a police officer talked about Òstranger danger,Ó and the Scholastic Book Fair was open for shoppers. Additionally, a pancake breakfast was enjoyed by all. Many thanks to sponsors Holmes-Murphy, SunCo, Rossi Clothiers, Deep Rock Water, for a successful event to help raise over $2,300 for the school.

Henry Winkler

Actor and author Henry Winkler was the featured speaker at a guild fundraiser supporting the Omaha Hearing School for Children held on September 28th at the Scott Conference Center. Over 200 people had an opportunity to listen as Mr. Winkler, almost universally known for creating the Fonzie character on the 70's TV series Happy Days, described the philosophy he has used to deal with adversity and to succeed despite his dyslexia. While maintaining an active Hollywood career, Henry Winkler (with co-author Lin Oliver) is the best selling author of the Hank Zipzer series of children's books.Henry Winkler kicked off the event by acting as auctioneer for a 1952 model Seeburg Jukebox like the one featured in Happy Days. He autographed his books and other items throughout the evening. The evening was highlighted by a short film, produced by the Hearing School, which featured two hearing impaired friends as they learned to listen and talk.

This event raised over $58,000 for the Omaha Hearing School and helped to generate community awareness of the services the Omaha Hearing School for Children continues to provide.
