May Meeting Recap

The NC Triad chapter of the National Stuttering Association met on Tuesday May 13th and was attended by the 2 chapter leaders and 2 people who stutter. Sheree read the welcoming words to open the meeting. Emily talked about the national NSA conference being held in the NYC area and how to become an NSA member. Our chapter was proud that 75% of the meeting attendees are already NSA members. We finished watching the film Rocket Science, and all agreed that we enjoyed watching the first half more than the second half. We also discussed our thoughts about the technique of singing to prevent stuttering, which was used in the film. One of the attendees has personally used this technique at home but was not comfortable using it in public. The June meeting cannot be held in our usual room because Elliott University Center is being used by the university for student orientation. We decided to hold our June meeting at First Carolina Deli, which is at 1635 Spring Garden Street just down the street from UNCG. This meeting will be an informal social gathering. We will be there starting at 6:30pm on Tuesday June 10th. Drew read the closing words to end the meeting. Beginning in July, meetings will move to a different room, Benbow, on the ground floor of Elliott University Center. Meetings will still be held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 7-9pm.
