A ten week Class in American Sign Language was held beginning in September and ending November. This was a great class and the people were very enthusiastic about learning the language AND about the culture of the Deaf, and their common experiences.
In addition to the instructor, Ceri-Jayne Hawley, other Deaf/HH people attended the class as observers. One hearing person assists Ceri-Jayne doing interpreting from time to time.
The Class learned vocabulary and culture and practiced improving their receptive skills. They learned about hearing loss and its affects on the personality, how it affects relationships, and various devices used by the Deaf community.
Future Classes are scheduled for: 
Beginner Level Two will include:
