Each semester of the “Talk! Laugh! Live!” program, the members of Voices of Hope for Aphasia select a community outing to *live* effectively and more independently with aphasia. Outings have included baseball games, museums, aquariums, and restaurants.

The First Annual Golf Tournament in 2014 brought together the board of directors, the members of Voices of Hope for Aphasia, and the community both near and far. People traveled from San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Maryland and others to attend.

The Second Annual Golf Tournament and Fund-raiser brought together the board of directors, the members of Voices of Hope for Aphasia, and the community.

Our first annual Cruise for a Cause was a success. People with aphasia and their families experienced travel in a safe, comfortable environment while spreading awareness of aphasia. This was the first vacation since the stroke/fall for several families!

As part of the ‘Talk! Laugh! Live!’ program our members performed volunteer work at St. Vincent de Paul. Activities such as this reinforce our core values of building the communication bridge for the individual while educating the public about Aphasia.
