5/8/12 Meeting is Cancelled

Unfortunately, this morning we found out that the building we usually meet in is closing early today.  Since it is too late to move the meeting to another location, we have cancelled our May meeting.  We will meet again on June 12th.

Stutter Social- Like an Online Support Group

Does your schedule keep you from coming to one of our meetings but you're still interested in meeting other people who stutter?  There is a new online resource called "Stutter Social" that provides a group video conference call through Google+ to connect with other people who stutter.  More information can be found here: Stutter Social.

Youth Day on Saturday 10/8/11

July 12th Recap and August Meeting Information

The NC Triad chapter of the National Stuttering Association met on Tuesday July 12, 2011 from 7-9pm in the Phillips room at Elliott University Center at UNCG.  This meeting had our highest attendance for a summer meeting ever!  The meeting was attended by 5 people who stutter, 1 SLP, and 1 parent.  We also welcomed two new comers.  The meeting began with a round robin reading of the welcome words.  A round of introductions followed for our first timers.  We discussed experiences with public speaking and presenting for classes after one attendee expressed concern about this issue for the upcoming semester.  We also talked about our experiences with attending the NSA conference and encouraged those who have not gone to come to Tampa next year.  Then we watched some segments from the Stuttering Foundation's dvd "If You Stutter: Advice for Adults."  Some great discussion was generated by the segment about people saying "slow down" or "just relax" in response to a disfluency.  The meeting was closed by a round robin reading of the closing words.

The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday August 9th from 7-9pm.  However, I will not be able to facilitate the meeting because of a personal emergency.  If you would like to meet informally as a group somewhere, then leave a comment or send an email to nsagso at yahoo dot com.  I can send out an email next week if people respond that they would like to meet.

June Meeting Cancelled

We have lost our meeting space for his month, so the June meeting is canceled. We will resume our regular meetings next month on Tuesday July 12th.

May Meeting has Moved

Our usual meeting room is not available this month so we will be meeting at Panera off Wendover Avenue in Greensboro starting at 7pm. Drop by whenever you can and stay for as long as you'd like. This will be a more informal meet and greet meeting because of the location. Hope you can stop by!
