The state chapter is still going, but slowly. The SBAA changed charters and
each "chapter" now has to have at least something like $50,000 to be a
member and considered a Chapter. SBANC doesn't have that much. So Kim
still is executive director but we aren't listed as part of the SBANC
anymore due to lack of funds. I had tried to do a support group in this
area but no one came. We tried Winston first, ten moved to Greensboro. We
never had but a couple of people. I am no longer on the SBANC Board but
Julie is listed as support group leader now. I think she may be VP as well,
but I am not sure as I am out of the loop. My name and number are still
listed on the SBANC website so I still get calls occasionally, mostly about
groups wanting to do reports or studies on kids with special needs for a
school project. Every now and then I get a parent calling. It'd be great
if we could have a place to talk about our used equipment and maybe loaning
it out to other SBANC members. We have kept JG's old wheelchair for now to
use in smaller spaces but before long, she won't fit in the old chair. I
know someone that was looking to re-home an EasyStand mobile stander.

Al, I think you're right.? If memory serves me correctly (and it doesn't
always) I think it was Thoms Rehabilitation in those parts that had an SB
clinic.? I do know that you can go online to the National Chapter and look
up all active state chapters.? I didn't see NC listed anymore which leads me
to believe the state association is defunct as well.? I honestly don't
know.? But even though I am in Fayetteville, if you folks decide to get
something going again and need some help doing some networking, don't
hesitate to ask.? I think I have a few contacts left that can help you out.

Dear Shelly,

I don't know if Mission Hospitals in Asheville has an
SB clinic. We have been going down to Shriners
Hospital in Greenville, SC.
