Description of Event:
Back by Popular Demand! Our Sip & Sign in November of 2023 was such a huge success we are returning on Saturday, May 18, 2024 from 10-12 p. m. at Grafton Winery to do it again! I Love Learning ASL instructor Angela Ashworth from Atlanta, Georgia will be at the winery to instruct this informative and fun class. You will learn basic fundamental sign language while you sip on hand-crafted Grafton Wine. Each adult registration includes 1 complimentary drink from the winery. Brunch menu items will also be available for purchase. All instructional materials for the class will be included. No previous knowledge of ASL is required to attend. If you attended the event in November we will review some of those signs you learned but you will also learn even more vocabulary this time including colors, more family signs and conversational phrases as well as new food signs. There will be games, prizes, raffles and ASL merchandise for sale during the event. All proceeds from the merchandise sales will benefit the I Love Learning ASL Scholarship Fund that provides ASL classes for families with deaf/hard of hearing or non-verbal children at no cost. The previous Sip & Sign raised $300 for the Scholarship Fund and 5 families were blessed with 12 weeks of ASL Fundamental classes. Angela's husband, Drew Ashworth will also be coming back with her to play live at the Grafton Winery Brewhaus location downtown on Friday night, May 17th. Drew is a signed recording artist, the 2022 Atlanta Blues Challenge winner and represented Atlanta in the 2023 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. on Beale Street. Everyone loved his performance this past November so he is returning as well. He will also be playing at other locations in the area so stay tuned for those locations.
