re: Healthy Journey

Last night was the last night for The Healthy Journey Support Group at Victory Church in New Castle. 

I'f anyone has any ideas or wants to help Co-Lead let me know. Tuesday nights worked out well and I'd like to keep that night reserved.  Faye Sappington was able too get the Kirkwood Library for June and July's meetings. To tell you the truth it is kinda far for me to travel. I work til 4pm and it was always a rush for me to get to meetings in New Castle.
I'd like to check out the Community Center at The Brandywine Towne Center. Near Target and Trader Joe's. Any other places let me know and we can check them out. There are a few of us who look for support and also like supporting others.  


 

At one time there was a WLS support group that met at Concordia Church on Silverside Road, in Wilmington, but that has disbanded.  maybe the church will let us use the space that the other support group used.  Or how about Aldersgate Church on Concord Pike?  Or maybe the JCC on Garden of Eden Road (Wilmington) has a room they could let us use.  Not sure if they would charge or not.  I work there and could find out if you'd like.

I'm sorry I didn't get to this month's meeting but my husband and I were at Hartefeld CC celebrating a friends 60th birthday.   and unfortunately I won't be able to get to next month's meeting because I'm having foot surgery on June 7th and doctor's orders are to stay of my foot for 2 weeks.  But I'll definitely be at July's meeting.

I was a Co-Leader at Concordia Healthy Beginnings. Open for any suggestions. If you can get the information for any of the above places that would be awesome. Most churches require that you at least be a member of their congregation. Hopefully Nicki can see about Concordia. Haven't heard from her yet.

It is a committment to Lead a group. When Healthy Beginnings started there were 4 of us that were co-leaders. Healthy Journey started with 3-4 Co-Leaders.  I am very willing to Co-Lead a group, however I do need help to cover those nights I might be traveling and not here. I work in Pa so the meeting place most assessable for me would be from Greenville (PMRI) 141 to RT 52 north to the PA line. 

Summers are typically slower. Hope to have a permanent place set up for September.
Thanks. Elissa

Elissa,

Could you enlighten me a little? 
I had to miss Tuesday's meeting as I was attending a 3 day work conference. 
Is Faye Whetstone still affiliated with Victory?  Didn't she start and co-lead this group with Faye S.?   Why the need to make us leave?  Sigh....

My daughter received the star and I'll make sure it gets returned.  She was surprised (and was supposed to stop in Tuesday but forgot).

Thanks
Judy

Judy,

Faye S. announced at April's mtg that May would be the last time we could use the facilities at Victory.
She can no longer be a Leader due to her job committments. Not sure of any other details. She

procured the Library on Kirkwood Hwy for June & July mtgs. I am willing to Co-Lead the group with

maybe 2 more Co-Leaders. Hope to find a permanent venue by September a little closer to home for

me. I'm looking for a room from Rt 141 & 52, (where PMRI is located) north to the PA line.  I was in

Hawaii in April so I'm just getting back into the swing of things. Any help finding a place would be

appreciated.

It was mentioned that the star should be returned to Faye Whetsone. Wasn't sure who had it til now.

Maybe you could return it to the church for her. 

I agree with "The sigh."

Elissa

Hawaii?  Lucky you.
I did attend the April meeting so I did know about Faye taking on a new job.
But I guess my question is why are we no longer welcome at the church?
Has any one asked Faye W?

Thanks!!

Judy, the impression, no the word I got was we needed to find another venue. I do not want to assume anything. Sorry I do not have any other answer for anyone.


Elissa

 When I get to work tomorrow, I'll ask about a room for the meeting (still for the 3rd tuesday night of the month??).   

I've never been to PMRI. Where is it located?

Associated with Christiana Care & CHRIAS. The old Pellporte facility at 141 & 52. Support groups are help there on Monday Evenings once a month.  

I would be very interested in attending these meetings, but Tuesday night is the only night of the week I have a previous commitment:-) Please keep me posted though.
