CONTACT PERSON FOR AUBURN CHATS:
COST: FREE! (although it is customary to buy beverages or snacks at the coffeehouse, to show support and thanks)
WHO: ANYONE AND EVERYONE! This is a great way
for deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing cultures to get together and socialize.
NOTE: It is perfectly acceptable to introduce yourself as hearing, hard-of-hearing or deaf.
There is nothing mean or insulting about that! Hearing folks — don’t be afraid of the deaf folks! Deaf have the same likes,
dislikes, hobbies, interests, etc. as you do — and deaf folks are fun to be around too!
Also — all forms of sign language will be seen at these coffee chats.
Please be respectful of those that use a different signing language
than you. There are actually some out there that know SEE and want to learn ASL. Have a wonderful time!
