From Lions Club to Taradale: Ruth’s Time with Hawke’s Bay Deaf Club

Ruth moved to Napier in 1982 and first met the local Deaf community through its Christmas events. At the time, the group met at the Lions Club premises. When the Taradale building was purchased, members of the Hawke’s Bay Deaf Club came together to renovate the space, pulling down walls to make it larger and more Deaf-friendly. Ruth later joined the committee and helped plan the 10th anniversary of the club’s new home before moving to Auckland.
