The Purdue University North Central American Sign Language Club will host an ASL Coffeehouse on Friday, May 20, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Cornucopia Coffee Company, 210 Lincolnway, Valparaiso.
This will be a BYOG - "Bring Your Own Game" night. Participants are encouraged to bring a game to play. During past events, "Uno," "Skip-Bo" and "Guess Who" were all hits. Games will begin at 7 p.m.
The event is open to ASL students as well as community members. Children are welcome to attend with a parent or adult. This is a fun, casual event for all to enjoy through participation or as an observer.
Participants are asked to use ASL providing an ideal opportunity to practice ASL to better communicate with friends, co-workers or family members. Coffee, food and drink may be ordered throughout the evening.
The ASL Club has scheduled a coffeehouse each month this summer. Each will be at Cornucopia Coffee Company from 6 to 9 p.m. and will feature a guest speaker, group activity or game. Upcoming coffeehouses will be Wednesday, June 15; Friday, July 15 and Friday, Aug. 19.
