Hello everyone. About the September 24 meeting, I have good news & bad news. The good news is that we have a new member. Welcome Alice! Alice joins us on the advice of her speech therapist. She is also to be commended for coming from a considerable distance to be at our meetings. The bad news is that there were a grand total of TWO people at the meeting. That's two as in 2; as in the square root of 4; as in the number of people in a set of twins...............And who were those two people? Right, yours truly & our new member Alice. I had to be there since I led the meeting. That means that not a single one of the regular members were present. A pox on all your houses! Seriously, folks, this group has been together for about 4 years & we have an active membership of about 20 people. Meetings are the heart & soul of the NSA. They're where we all find our best support & camaraderie. There really wouldn't be an NSA as it was originally envisioned without the meetings. COME TO THE MEETINGS!
In these meeting updates I usually describe in some detail the introductory question, the topic for discussion, table topics if any & whatever else went on at the meeting. Since there were only TWO of us (have I mentioned there there were only TWO people present?), I think it's pointless to report on any of this. Alice and I did part of a regular meeting as best we could & then just had a great conversation about movies. This way we at least got in some practice on our fluency techniques. I'm going to implement the same plan I had for this meeting for the next meeting I lead. I hope our new member Alice won't mind a partial repeat.
The next meeting is on Thursday, October 8, led by fearless leader Matt. 5:45 PM, Kaiser Permanente, 6 Willard, Irvine 92604. Be There! Don't make me come looking for you!
