ID: A group of nine people is standing together indoors, posing in front of a colorful backdrop with “Wicked” in large letters, referencing the Broadway musical. Four people are dressed as characters from The Wizard of Oz: one as the Wicked Witch of the West, wearing a green face, a pointed hat, and a dark dress, two as a flying monkey with wings and ears, and one as Oz wearing green suit. The others wear casual clothing and are smiling at the camera. The backdrop shows a blend of fantasy scenery, including pink blossoming trees and a shadowy forest, setting a magical atmosphere. A poster of Glinda, the Good Witch, is visible on the left side. The flooring is light wood, and a restroom sign is on the wall to the right.
Friendly Reminder: All KIS offices will be closed on Thursday, November 28th, in observance of Fall Feast. We will resume normal office hours on Friday, November 29th. ... See MoreSee Less

The flyer has a vibrant lime-green background with creative visuals that immediately catch the eye. At the top, a retro-style camera icon with radiant lines emanating from it symbolizes video production. Surrounding the design are elements like film strips and recording icons ("REC" and a timecode) that emphasize the theme. The bold headline "We Are Hiring" and "FREELANCE VIDEOGRAPHER" grab attention, followed by a detailed job description: "We’re looking for a talented freelance videographer to join us in the Twin Cities. Flexible hours and exciting filming opportunities at our professional studio make this the perfect role for someone with camera expertise and a passion for video production. Bring your creativity and let’s create something impactful!" At the bottom, a clear call-to-action is enclosed in a white box: "Send Your Resume to Translations@kisasl.com."
At the Minnesota Association of Deaf Citizens (MADC) event for Deaf Awareness Day, Keystone Interpreting Solutions (KIS) and Deaf Community Support Center (DCSC) were thrilled to connect with the community!
Our KIS booth was buzzing with excitement: Molly shared insights on interpreting services, Jenee from DCSC hosted a raffle for Wicked tickets and announced the lucky winner, and Tim engaged attendees with resources on COVID and wellness. Plus, DCSC’s vaccine booth was a hit, helping many get vaccinated. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made the day memorable!
