{SPEAKER name="Jan DeLap/Sheila Grinnell (interpreter)"}
We have our quote "social clubs." Every big city in America has their own deaf clubs.
[00:34:53]
I think there's about 200 in America and deaf people do congregate there, get together there on weekends; play cards, talk, drink, eat, share information, exchange information, learn, tell jokes and perform exciting events.
[00:35:14]
They have sports. We have baseball tournaments, football, many things. We meet many needs of ours.
[00:35:23]

{SPEAKER name="Jo Radner"}
Thank you very much. You'll be able to see, as I said, at 12 o'clock a performance of these people have been titled Deaf Kaleidoscope, some traditional folk theater from the deaf clubs, from the deaf community and I invite you to come back at that time.
[00:35:39]
Right now I'd like to thank our participants. Will you help me thank them?
