DPHH - Jan 30th 2015 - Plank! Oakland, CA

Happy New Year! 

We are no longer referring to our event as Baduppies, it was a cute name that never really caught on and caused more confusion than necessary.  We are now simply calling it DPHH. 

We still expect to see a level of professionalism at our events.  Hope to see this event as a networking opportunity for Deaf professionals.  

Our first event of the year will be at Plank!  This is an exciting new venue in Jack London Square.  If interested you could sign up for bowling a few hours or some bocce, or billards before or during the event.  It is a large venue so we will be located.in the beer garden. 

We have also teamed up with ASL Meetup.  So should be a nice mashup! 

Where:  Plank 

Address:  98 Broadway, Oakland, CA

When:  Friday Jan. 30th

Time: 7pm until Close

Look forward to seeing you all there!
