The Hear Now Café will meet Monday, Sept. 12, from 6:30-9 p.m. Cindy Aitken, founder and owner of All Access Captions will share “How Captioning Works and how it benefits the hard of hearing in the local church.”
The Hear Now Café event will be held in the fellowship hall on the ground floor behind the Access Church, 4064 South Access Road. The building is wheelchair user accessible.
The Hear Now Café was established to help encourage friends with hearing loss and provide an opportunity to meet new friends who live with hearing loss. Mild to moderate hearing loss group comprises the largest handicap in America.
