Sep 12: Shore to Shore Fall Classes Begin

Family Enhancement's Shore to Shore program will again be offering American Sign Language Classes this Fall. We are located at 2120 Fordem Avenue in Madison. All classes (Levels 1, 2, and 3) run from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm on Tuesday evenings. Our ten week classes begin September 12th and end November 14th.

Our classes are taught by Deaf adults using various teaching methods.

Anyone who is interested in learning sign language is welcome to attend.

Childcare, with an emphasis on learning sign language, is offered while adults attend their classes.

The fee is $70.00 per individual or $95.00 per family (two adults plus children).

Registration and payment are required. Please contact Connie Stevens at cstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for a flyer and registration form.

Who we are: Shore to Shore offers year round programming for families with Deaf and Hard of Hearing members and others who use sign language. We believe communication is the cornerstone of literacy. In addition to sign language classes, we offer an ASL Story Hour and Parent Support Group as well as Outreach Services.

Please contact me with questions.

In the interest of those who use sign language to communicate, thank you very much.

Our walking group still meets every Monday 8am at both East and West Towne Malls. Don't forget Deaf Professionals is the 3rd Friday of each month. You can find more info at www.geocities.com/madisondeaf

We still work with community events so that you can go:
