Deaf club promotes campus awareness
Issue date: 11/7/02 Section: Campus
All students; hearing, hard of hearing and deaf, were invited to attend the deaf club's first meeting at noon, Oct. 31, in the library lobby.
As Garden City Community College's newest club addition, the deaf club's purpose is to promote deaf awareness in both the community and on campus.
Donnie Kirk, a deaf club member, said the club hopes to bring in speakers and interpreters to accomplish this task.
"I just want [others] to learn about deaf culture," Kirk said.
Mona Kaps, deaf club sponsor, said she hopes to see the club get involved within the community.
"I know I would like to see the group sign the Star Spangled Banner at some home game or other activity," Kaps said.
Deaf club representatives project the next meeting to be at 9 a.m., Nov. 21, in the library lobby. Although the club does not currently have any activities planned, Kirk said he thinks the club will become more involved next semester.
Kaps said she thinks the deaf club will be a good opportunity for those involved, especially the deaf and hard of hearing students.
"Usually these kids grow up with interpreters," Kaps said. "I think it's a good idea for them to interact with people from their own age group."
