Our first gathering on Friday February 11th was a success with interesting people. We decided to have it again next month in March on Friday March 11th and the following month in April on Friday April 8th from 5pm until 10pm at the BUNGALOW CLUB, 7174 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, California 90046
Social Happy Hour is from 3 to 7pm

Hi all!
Are you a Deaf/ Hard of Hearing man? Then you're already qualified to take part in a research study brought to you by the University of California, San Diego. By giving just 1.5 hours of your time, you'll get $15, a free meal, and help further research with the Deaf/HH community.
Date: Wednesday, February 16
Time: 7:00pm to 9:00 PM
Place: GLAD HQ (Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness) 2222 Laverna Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90041

This simple research study involves watching a videotape of ASL and filling out questionnaires and is strictly anonymous. Please e-mail mnakaji@ucsd.edu to confirm that you are attending - so we know how much food to order.

If you have any other Deaf/HH male friends, forward this message to them, too! We REALLY need every Deaf/HH man to come take this study to make this successful! Remember, you'll get $15 and a free meal for just showing up and taking the survey.
Thanks,
Adam Stone
