Lunch & Learn Series

Check out our upcoming Lunch & Learn events:

American Sign Language Workshop

Facilitated by Anne & Greg Coppes

Learning American Sign Language (ASL) is a valuable life skill. ASL is a beautifully expressive and complete language that follows its own grammar rules and combines hand gestures with facial expressions and body language to convey meaning.

In this workshop, participants will develop an understanding of deaf culture and a working knowledge of ASL. After learning phrases and sentences, you will have time to practice with each other.

Session: Nov 4, 11, 18 & Dec 2, 9, 16, 2026

Schedule: 1-2:15pm

Location: Living Room

Fees: Members = Free / Non-Members = $10
