We were honored last night to have the Governor of Georgia, The Honorable Sonny Perdue and his wife Mary as our guests last night at the Auditory Verbal Center's 30th Anniversary gala! Yes, they attended as our guests! What a privilege! It was a wonderful evening and full of the appreciation and thankfulness that we all share regarding the work at the AVC. We enjoyed chatting with our therapist, surgeon, audiologist and friends. We listened to graduates of AVC tell their story and listened to great music! We also enjoyed meeting Dewey and Cookie Smith from Kiwanis International, which has been very generous towards the AVC; Cookie has made the AVC her platform, and we know this has helped a lot of kids. We appreciated that the governor and his wife both addressed the attendees and had relevant and interesting things to say to the crowd. A fun evening was had by all! When we get some pictures, we'll post them here, as well. About 200 people were in attendance, and it was a great testament to the accomplishments of both the AVC and the kids who have graduated from the program.
