[ASL] Interesting Articles + Social

[Amy Hambidge]

Hello everyone!

Tomorrow!  Spring break!  Whoot!!!  That's pretty much all I can coherently
convey at this point.  That, and here are two cool articles I have come across
in the past two days:

---"Deaf dog adopted by deaf kids after learning sign language"--> Sign Language
and an adorable dog and happy children!  Who could ask for more?  It's cute.

---"Legislators look to change education laws"--> This is an article my mommy
sent me from our area newspaper.  In Connecticut, there is a proposal, among a
few, to make ASL count as a foreign language instead of an elective!  So cool!

Also, below are the details on the social next Tuesday if you're around!
Have a wonderful, fantastic, amazing, relaxing, warm and happy spring break!
Peace,
Amy

Hi everyone,The next Northampton ASL Social will be at “Spare Time Bowling”
on Pleasant street in Northampton on Tuesday, March 15 starting at 6:00. 
There is plenty of room for everyone so you don’t have to RSVP, just show
up!  If you’re on facebook you can search for Northampton ASL Social if you
want to see who’s going or invite facebook friends.   FYI, this is the last
reminder I’ll be sending through the WMass-ASL e-mail list so I hope to see
you all on the new “Signers-L” list where I’ll continue to send reminders
of both the Amherst and Northampton ASL Socials!  (You don’t have to do
anything to get on the new list, we will all be moved automatically!)  I’m
excited about learning about other events and issues from people on the new
e-mail list and perhaps more people will find out about our socials!    I
hope to see you next Tuesday!Lorraine James
