The NC Triad chapter of the National Stuttering Association met last Tuesday March 8th from 7-9pm in the Phillips room at UNCG's Elliott University Center. The meeting was attended by 3 people who stutter and 1 SLP. We opened the meeting by reading the welcome words in a round robin style. One person shared his experience of attending his first NSA conference last summer. He reported really enjoying the experience overall and plans on trying to attend the conference this summer in TX. The chapter leader shared about the Our Time summer camp for children who stutter that is moving to the mountains of NC for the first time this summer. More information can be found at www.ourtimecamp.org. Our chapter also talked about starting to plan the 2nd NSA Youth Day and CEU workshop in Greensboro, NC. We're hoping to have the Youth Day on Saturday October 15th and the CEU workshop the day before. The majority of our meeting was spent discussing the Oscar-winning
The King's Speech using questions developed by the Dallas NSA chapter. Everyone at the meeting had seen the film and loved it. I wanted to share this clip of actual footage of King George VI speaking publicly. It was mentioned at the meeting.

At the end of the meeting, we read the closing words round robin a little early so that we could walk around Elliott University Center, the building where we meet, to look at options for our meeting room next year. Our regular meeting space will be closing to be incorporated into another space. We like the informality and comfort of the Phillips Room, so this is our new permanent meeting space starting next month. Our next chapter meeting will be Tuesday April 12th from 7-9pm in the Phillips Room on the ground floor of Elliott University Center on the campus of UNCG.
