This semester the ASL LLC has about 20 members. This year, there are quite a few residents
that are part of the West 3/4 community (where the ASL LLC is located), but are
not LLC members. For this reason, the ASL LLC will be putting on an event to
encourage other members of the West 3/4 community to learn more about Deaf
Culture and ASL. We will be showing
residents how to fingerspell their names, count from 1-10, and how to sign
basic phrases such as “What’s your name?”, “How are you?”, and “Nice to meet
you.” Also, to give others an idea of
what Deaf Culture really is, we are also planning to meet our new LLC Advisor,
Pam, as well as play some Deaf games.
This event will take place right in our community. The goal of this event is not only to expose
other community members to ASL, but to also give the LLC residents a feel for
what our annual event “Talk to the Hands” is all about. “Talk to the Hands” is an event much like
what we are planning for this month, but is instead open to all of University
Housing residents. This month’s event
will allow LLC members to start thinking about and planning for the “Talk to
the Hands” event. Hopefully, it will also get more people interested and aware
of Deaf Culture. We are hoping to build an even stronger community right here
on West 3/4 and with the ASL LLC.
