· Dinner tonight will be at Applebee’s on Fruitville Rd.

OLD BUSINESS

· Adaptive Golf is every Wed. at 9:30 to 11:30 at Tatum Ridge Golf Links

· The Picnic at Myakka State Park was a lot of fun. We are sorry that it was a bad weekend for some of you. We were able to get a perfect spot under trees and close to everything. The food was all great. Some of us took the tram and some took the water boat, but we all learned more about the life in the park and what is done to keep all the ecosystems in balance.

· Our book club is done for 2012. Most everyone really enjoyed our suspenseful book. We will be looking for our book for 2013, so any suggestions will be appreciated.

NEW BUSINESS

Sunset Golf- This will be on Thursday nights. Tom will give you the details at the meeting.

· The aphasia conference will be in Orlando on May 26th and 27th. Erika will give you the details about registering. We hope to see a lot of you there.

· The University of Florida Schedule is May 21st-July 28th. This is a great opportunity to take an intense therapy for very little money.

ACTIVITY

· Marylee –Founder of Retreat and Refresh Stroke Camp

· What works for you?          We want to discuss the kinds of things that you have adapted to accommodate your aphasia. They can be anything from physical (like a one-handed can opener) to speech (like asking a person to speak slower or repeating something). There are probably things you do you don’t even realize you do. So think about it and share ideas to help others.

BREAK-OUTS

· What is your favorite……………… This time you pick-it can be anything or anybody that is your favorite. Be ready to discuss it and tell us why it is your favorite.
