| 2002 ASL Club Events September 14th: The ASL Club planned to manage activities for the kids attending WSAD/NSAD Tournament Day (WSAD/West Suburban Assn of the Deaf and NSAD/National Softball Association of the Deaf). Volunteers were recruited to help with light duties in several areas, including swingset, volleyball and kick ball; possibly crafts, maybe a game. There was a Deaf clown from 11am to 1pm. The program ran from 11am to 4pm at the Elgin Sports Complex. Feel free to check the following website for further information: http://www.wsadeaf.org/nsadinfo.htm July 2: Harper College's Student Activities and Program Board were thrilled to present two shows with Michael Shwedick, bringing REPTILE WORLD for the nineth time. Shwedick brought a wide variety of reptiles, including several snakes, a turtle, a crocodile, an alligator, and an iguana. This was a very informative program on the lives of these animals, fascinating for both children and parents alike. An interpreter was provided and ASL Club students assisted in ushering.
