Interested in an Informal Conversation with other Participants?
We would like to know if you would be interested in joining an informal meet-up on a group video chat (like Zoom). We know, with the COVID pandemic everyone is home and socializing is at a minimum. Would you like to meet other BronchandNTM360 participants and chat about what is happening these days. Or if you have a specific question you would like to discuss, let us know!

I think this is a terrific idea - now of all times it's easy to feel isolated and not able to easily connect with others. Being able to talk with others who understand what we may be feeling or going through could be a neat way to have a buddy or group of friends we can share with. I'm in!
Gretchen,
Sounds great! Looking forward to hearing more about it.
Great idea!
I would be very interested in joining this video call!
I too would be very interested in this!
I would be interested as well! Thanks.
I would be interested in a patient chat group

Yes, I would be interested in joining a ZOOM chat meeting with other people that are coping with Bronchiectasis during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Could be a good idea but I have not down loaded zoom yet.

Yes, I'd be interested as well.
Gretchen, if this is still on the table, count me in.
Great to know! We will be sending an email out soon with the October date and time! It will be nice to have an informal chat and get to know our community!
I would be very interested in joining vritual chats.
Count me in.
Is anyone still interested in informal, virtual meetings? I am interested. I meet two times a month with group of chronic pain sufferers and it's very helpful. Not only do we share pain situations and updates, we also discuss doctors, meds and procedures. We also laugh and enjoy each other in a social situation. I find it very beneficial.
I would be interested in joining an online chat group with other people dealing with bronchiectasis.
Hello! There will be a coffee house social very soon. Keep checking in for the updates
Yes be interested too.

Does anyone have the ability to host a group zoom meeting? I do not have that ability. I know that you have to have a certain level of zoom in order to have a number of people and also not be limited to 40 minutes. I would be glad to help with posting the link on the site for people to join. If anyone has access to that level of zoom that would be great.
