I am in an ASL class in plano texas and i was wondering if there were any Deaf events going on i could get involved with?
 
There's a Deaf Chat Coffee at a Starbucks location in Plano, TX during the first Friday of each month.

I think it's Coit and Spring Creek.


There's also an all-day event called Deaf Celebration that's taking place tomorrow from 9 am to midnight. It's at the Plano Center across the street from Collin County Community College at Spring Creek and Jupiter. :)

Deaf Chat Coffee doesn't count? I was hoping to go to one.

It depends on the teacher.

Some teachers don't want to count Deaf Chat Coffee and some teachers do.

I don't think it really cares, as long as there's variety. There's nothing wrong with going to a Deaf Happy Hour once, a Deaf Chat Coffee once, and something else.

I prefer Deaf Chat Coffee over Deaf Happy Hour. At DCC, the worse anyone can do is drink too much coffee. With DHH, you're more likely to deal with drunk people.

Perhaps, that's what the teachers want the ASL students to experience... the embarrassment that deaf people put themselves through when they're drunk? ;)

Vamp- Why would drunk deaf people be different than drunk hearing people? I wouldn't think they would!!!

As to answer the original question, if you are at Quad C the deaf coffe does NOT count. Neither does going to the same thing multiple times, with the exception of the Deaf Action Center. You can go there as many times as you want and write about it. I have been twice. It's basically a senior citizen center for deaf people. It's not bad. I have enjoyed it.

Cingo is this Saturday at the DAD and I know there are a lot of ASL 1 students from Quad C going! Hope this helps.
 
=[

The only problem I have is that I work all the time. I never have a weekend off and that's when all of the deaf events are. =[


I'm going to drop a letter grade because of work =[
