Miss America 1995, Heather Whitestone, will be in Roanoke on July 6 to kick off a professional development workshop for sign-language interpreters and to speak at a 6 p.m. banquet that will be open to the public.
"It is an honor not only to have Miss America 1995 in Roanoke, but to have a woman who has become a symbol of achievement for many disabled individuals. Ms. Whitestone represents what is possible through determination, hard work, and believing in yourself," said Connie Meck, program director for Virginia Tech's Division of Continuing Education in Roanoke and organizer of the workshop. The division is sponsoring the banquet and two-day workshop at the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center.
Whitestone lost her hearing when she was 18 months old and learned to read lips and to speak.
Individuals can purchase tickets to the banquet for $30 per person. Sponsor tables are also available for $500, which includes dinner for eight, a listing in the program, and an opportunity to meet and be photographed with Whitestone following the program.
To buy a ticket or arrange a sponsorship for the banquet, call Meck at 703/857-6055, send an e-mail message to meck@vt.edu , or send a fax to 703/857-6058.
