Usually small very homey a lot of chairs, maybe a TV in in a corner, a bar, card tables.

{SPEAKER name="Libby Hathaway/John Ennis (interpreter)"}
I'll share with you the first time I went in a deaf club was when I was 19 years old, even though my parents are deaf.
[00:11:20]
Both of them are very active in the club. But when I first went in to the deaf club, it was very simple.
[00:11:28]
Like she explained, small maybe a row of chairs, a little kitchen, a little bar.
[00:11:34]
Very plain walls. Usually you find in every deaf club you will see pictures hanging on the walls from past presidents up to the present one.
[00:11:46]
Other pictures may be bowling championships, softball champion teams and pictures and things like that.
[00:11:57]
Decided to visit some different deaf clubs. Really they're the same all over.
[00:12:04]
Meeting new friends maybe talking-where you're from, tell them where I'm from, my hometown, and they say "oh do you know this person
