The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) Houston Chapter
Welcomes You
Hear With Your Heart
Please don’t laugh if I miss your name; God didn’t create us all the same.
I ask for your patience, as I miss a thing or two; wishing only to communicate with you.
Can you open your heart to listen? Helping others is my mission.
May we all recognize our individual differences as a way to share enlightenment, and help promote courage in self and others.
And gather together in groups to rebuild hope, as we share knowledge and affirm new visions for our future.
– Fran Seslow
Hope Is Where the Heart Is
Join us September 27, 2025
Our guest speaker, Bill Brown
“A Voice for the Game, A Heart for the Community”
Step into an morning of inspiration with Bill Brown, the legendary voice behind the Houston Astros.
For over three decades, Bill brought the crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd into our homes—but his greatest legacy may be what he’s doing off the field.
Now a passionate advocate for community outreach, Bill will share behind-the-scenes stories from his storied career, his journey from Vietnam to the broadcast booth, and how he's using his voice to uplift causes close to his heart.
​Whether you're a lifelong baseball fan or simply moved by stories of resilience and purpose, this morning promises connection, laughter, and impact.
Let’s celebrate a voice that shaped a team—and now helps shape lives.
Come at 9:30A.M. to enjoy light refreshments.
The meeting will start at 10A.M.
Trini Mendenhall Center, 1414 Wirt, Houston, Tx. 77055
