Auckland Deaf Society newsletter: August 1962

Some of the items featured in Auckland Deaf Society’s August 1962 ’25th Jubilee’ newsletter:

• Tickets for the ADS 25th Ball and Jubilee Dinner are on sale! Dinner will be on 24 August 1962 and the ball will be on the next day – the 25th. A wee history of ADS is also featured in the newsletter. Although the Club has been established at Balmoral, there are still plans to complete the hall when the floor is built above the foyer, to be a self contained Clubroom for the use of Deaf members only. 
• The Deaf Demons basketball team was ‘born’ when they were located at Grey Street. They attained ‘A’ grade status in the YMCA Competitions and two of the members were selected for the Auckland representative team. 
• A trophy cabinet has been set up at the Welfare Centre, with lots of bowls trophies, thanks to the dominant Deaf Bowling Team led by Sen and Kath Smith.
