    • Update 3 - potluck (signup: Potluck Sign Up 6.24.26 - Google Sheets)
    • Update 3 - Proclamation of Aphasia Awareness Day

-We then broke off into our small groups!
• Topic Group: We continued planning games, activities, and potluck details for our Aphasia Awareness Celebration on June 24th! Members agreed on playing “Name that tune” and discussed incorporating aphasia crafts. We also continued Mara and Emily’s discussion of the art project to decorate the PTARI office on Pitt’s Campus and began brainstorming some ideas.
• Game Group: Our game group this week played Spot It! Spot It is a fast-paced card game where players quickly search to find the matching symbol between two cards. Members had fun playing various versions of the game and seeing who could spot the match the quickest!
• Open Conversation Group

Join us next week, Wednesday, June 17th, where we will hear from Todd from “Ringlet” to get advice from us on how to make the app more aphasia friendly!
