No. Everyone is welcomed to our activities. People become members by visiting our activities. There is no fee for membership.

Well... if you want to communicate with everyone in our events it would be prefered that you learn some sign language, it does not need to be American Sign Language (ASL). However there will always be someone interested in learning, teaching or assisting. So come join us.

That is ok!! Alot of people are shy at first, so you are not alone.

However, we prefer that someone approach us and ask who talk with. There is always a host or someone at the event, whom is willing to assist others. It would be good idea to email us at news@deafrec.org to help us find you at the events.
