Deaf Event Paper For my Deaf Event I decided to attend the Silent Dinner at Valley Ranch Barbeque this past Tuesday April 27th‚ 2010 with my fellow classmate a best friend‚ Amber Cullens.

Woodard Community Involvement 2 On April 3‚ I attended the Deaf Idol event put on by ASL students for the Deaf community. Like with most Deaf events‚ I was nervous about going so I didn’t want to walk in without the friends I was meeting there walking in with me.

This event by-passed my expectations. There were so many people; almost
