January Meeting Recap

The NC Triad chapter of the National Stuttering Association held its first meeting of the new year on Tuesday January 8th. The two chapter leaders and one person who stutters were in attendance. Due to the limited attendance, the original agenda was replaced by discussion of how to increase meeting attendance. Ideas included advertising at other area universities, contacting local papers, and posting another round of flyers. Those in attendance decided that the issue with attendance seems to be getting those who contact us about the group to actually attend a meeting. We are not sure if the problem is the day or time of the meetings, location, parking, or something else. We would appreciate any insight on this issue.

The group also decided to move forward with plans for an informal meeting. We will be at Panera Bread on Wendover Avenue from 2-4pm on Sunday January 20th. There will be no formal meeting agenda because this will be a meet and greet, and we hope to see many new faces there! Our next regular meeting will be on Tuesday February 12th from 7-9pm.

January Meeting Agenda

Next Tuesday, January 8th, the NC Triad chapter of the National Stuttering Association will hold its first meeting for 2008 from 7-9pm in the Claxton Room on the first floor of Elliott University Center on the campus of UNC Greensboro. We will continue discussing issues, such as how stuttering affects life choices, brought up in the stuttering documentary we watched at the November meeting. Also, we will discuss the possibility of holding an additional informal meeting later in January at a coffee shop. If you are interested in this possibility, please email us with what days/times work best for your schedule. We want to include as many people as possible in this decision.
