The Purdue University North Central American Sign Language Club will host an ASL Coffeehouse on Friday, June 20, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Uptown Café, 1400 E. Lincolnway, Valparaiso.
The event will feature a fun, interactive activity.
The coffeehouse is open to ASL students as well as community members and children are welcome to attend with a parent or adult. This is a pleasant, casual event for all to enjoy either 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.
Future ASL Coffeehouses are planned for July 18 and Aug. 15, both at the Uptown Café.
