That area is known as the Hub or the cafeteria. There will be a few games of Bingo then chat and enjoy any other games that are brought. It is also a potluck, so if anyone who is coming wants to bring food, our theme is BBQ. 

FROM COADHI: "Central Oklahoma Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Inc. is
planning our annual Christmas event for Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, and
Child(ren) of Deaf Adults (CODA) children. The event is to be held on
December 2nd, 2017. Last year, 65 children attended the event. This year we
expect upwards of 75 children! Our theme is Candyland. We will have
several activities related to the theme."

n Nov 17, the sign language club at OSU OKC will have a game night. They will give out prizes and provide Thanksgiving dinner.  This is a good opportunity for Deafblind to come socialize with students in the interpreter training program. This would help the students to become better trained to work with the Deafblind one day.
