Good morning!

Today’s the big day — our inaugural event begins with a public panel discussion at 10:30 in the Carolina Union, room 3408.

A couple of registrants had to unexpectedly drop out, so we’ve got a couple of workshop slots open. No registration req. — just show up!

Our workshop facilitators were brilliant and made the experience personal and meaningful for our participants. They felt seen because of y’all.

But most of all, we owe everything to our participants who were brave enough to think that they might have a story to tell.

Thanks.

When @paul_blom and I came up with @UNCVetsWriting, all we had was $300 and a hope to do something meaningful.

Yesterday far exceeded our wildest dreams.
