What is ALDA Delaware Valley NJ?
An ALDA local support group
ALDA Delaware Valley NJ is a local support group sanctioned by ALDA and a subsidiary of the national organization, headquartered in Moorestown, NJ, and founded and led by Ron Gottardi. It is also a 501(c)3, and can accept tax-deductible charitable donations. As a member of ALDA Delaware Valley NJ, you can attend meetings and presentations, where you can meet and socialize with other people with hearing loss and those who support them, participate in local programs, and receive email notices, news, and publications.
What is the Relationship to The Time to Hear is Here?
Transitioning
In January 2024, this venture started with the presentation, called The Time to Hear is Here. The title was registered and the title became the entity that produced the presentation. In 2025, we affiliated with ALDA to gain tax exempt status, tax deductibility for donations, and greater sustainability. The presentation will continue to be known as The Time to Hear is Here.
Geographic Area
We cover Philadelphia, its nearby suburbs in SE PA, southern New Jersey, and northern Delaware.
