SUMMARY:ASL Trivia: DC
DESCRIPTION:Promoting Deaf Culture and ASL: One of the primary goals is to celebrate and promote Deaf culture and ASL. By hosting trivia in ASL\, the organization supports the use and recognition of ASL as a rich\, fully-fledged language and an integral part of Deaf culture. \nCreating Inclusive Social Opportunities: These events provide inclusive social settings where Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals can participate fully without communication barriers. They also offer hearing individuals an opportunity to engage with Deaf culture and learn ASL\, fostering greater understanding and inclusivity. \nEducation and Awareness: Through fun and engaging trivia\, the organization can educate participants about Deaf history\, notable figures in the Deaf community\, and important aspects of Deaf culture\, thereby raising awareness and understanding among a broader audience. \nCommunity Building: Events like ASL trivia nights are excellent for community building\, offering a space for people from the Deaf and hearing communities to come together\, interact\, and form connections in a friendly\, entertaining environment. \nSkill Development: For both Deaf and hearing participants\, these events can be a platform for developing and practicing ASL skills in a fun\, low-pressure setting\, which is beneficial for language learning\, acquisition\, and retention. \nEmpowerment and Representation: By centering events around Deaf culture and ASL\, ASL Trivia empowers the Deaf community\, giving them a platform for visibility and representation in a world where they are often marginalized. \nFollow ASL Trivia: DC at https://www.facebook.com/ASLTriviaDC/ and https://www.instagram.com/asltriviadc/

All ASL users and learners are welcome.\nBrunches are alternately held at two restaurants in Greenbelt\, both in the same town plaza.\nODD WEEKS: 1st\, 3rd\, and 5th Sundays\, we meet at Cedars of Lebanon\, 103 Centerway.\nEVEN WEEKS: 2nd and 4th Sundays\, we meet at New Deal Café\,113 Centerway.\nWe are the Greenbelt ASL Community\, a group of both Deaf and hearing people who hang out\, chat about everyday goings on\, trade stories\, get to know each other better\, and of course\, enjoy food together. Many members use ASL as their primary language\, several are interpreters or other fluent ASL users\, while others are ASL learners who wish to improve their skills while making new friends.\nBefore or after brunch\, you can visit the farmer’s market and small coop grocery store in the plaza.\nPlease RSVP so we can contact you via email if needed.\nOur group is on Facebook as Greenbelt ASL Community. Some long-time group members don’t mark their attendance here\, so feel free to stop by even if you don’t see others who have RSVP’d on Meet-up.
