Galveston Deaf Coffee Chat

04/06/2026

Don’t forget to join us tonight for some drinks, fun, and signing!

When you arrive at MarMo, enter through the main building doors (to the left of the Cafe), go to the left of the lobby for the stairs, then we’ll be at a table or couches upstairs. If the doors are locked when you arrive, you’re welcome to have the event on the outdoor patio.

Remember: all ASL users welcome. Fluency is not required but some prior knowledge of ASL is necessary as it will be the primary language used for the night.

See you all there! 🤟

It was brought to my attention that the next coffee chat on Sunday, February 8 is also Super Bowl Sunday…and the first weekend of Mardi Gras. Needless to say, I’m gonna go ahead and cancel February’s coffee chat and we’ll pick it back up in March.

Stay warm!! 🤟

We’re finally here at the end of the year! Oh, how time has flown!

Join us next Saturday in celebrating Christmas, friends, and the new year! Bring some fun, holiday-themed games, your winter movie recommendations, or just your ASL-loving self!

PLEASE NOTICE: the evening of Saturday, December 13 will be the monthly Art Walk in The Strand area of Galveston. Parking will be scarce and MarMo Plaza is going to be very busy. We will still plan to meet in the lounge area of the second floor, but if that proves to be too crowded, we will move to conference room #206 (also on the second floor).

Contact me with any questions or concerns. See you soon!
