*Dear Friends,

I am pleased to pass on to you this announcement from my colleague Eloise
Tyler. I hope that some of you can support her important work.

Best,

Devva

Hi Devva,

Hope all is well.  The Clara Cantrell Clemmons Assistance Center is having
its first conference for African-Americans who are challenged with the
speech disability of stuttering. This is a nationally focused conference,
the first of its kind focusing on how stutter effects the overall quality
of life of African-Americans who stutter. It is imperative that this
information is distributed and I am therefore asking you and SDS to help. I
am also seeking support and looking for conference speakers/participants.

*Who should attend this conference?
*African-American men and women who stutter
Clergy
Educators
Healthcare providers
Human Service Providers
Psychologists
Social Workers
Sociologists
Speech Pathologists
Journalists and others who desire to gain insight on this often
misunderstood disability

See attachments for the conference particulars.

I am also in need of a media arts team who will be willing to tape
sessions. The center is financially challenged and volunteers and in-kind
donations of services and good are needed and will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Eloise Tyler
