Stephanie, This is so cool! I'm really looking forward to tonight! Thanks again for all of your support and the start of this GROUP! This is something that has been needed for a long time here on the southside, I know that a lot of people goes through this with no support at all. I'm for one very greatful to have had the chance to meet everyone so far and all of those that I have not met yet. See you tonight! Hug's Dorothy (Jeannie)
