The volunteers could be coordinated by the Recreation Department, the Lifelong Learning College, or some other existing organization.
This approach would be much more in the spirit of TV than demanding paid interpreters at every event.

Good points Bike. Those seem like reasonable accommodations to me, but then, I am not Deaf. I am still curious as to what DeafDeaf feels is a "reasonable accommodation" for the Rec Dep. to provide, and how he sees his responsibility for his own disability accommodations. I have a nephew who has CP and at times I am frustrated about the "reasonable accommodations" he is provided, but with my sister's help he gets along nicely.
