Programs for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Schott Deaf Networking
Schott Communities offers opportunities for the deaf population to socialize through Deaf Networking Socials which meet on the first Saturday of each month. Members of the deaf population from area communities join together for evenings of camaraderie and activities. Thus far, the Socials have included a wine and cheese soiree, and a day and evening of games which included dominoes, horseshoes and poker. The next terrific event was the first Florida screening of the movie, "Gerald", followed by food and drink in Schott Hall. Please contact Sofia Roukas, , for information about future events.
