Hi Darcie! This is actually the support group I've been meeting with for the past few months and we actually start at 6:30 (I would recommend getting there a little early though.)  :) Next meeting is this Wednesday the 18th.  I hope to see some or all of you there!

I got the info straight from Rhonda who runs the meeting and her email said 6:00 pm. I went to the one in June at 6:00 pm.. did I see you there?

If you were there in June, you saw me.  LOL  I've been going since April. They always started the meetings at 6:30...some people have gotten there early and were able to talk beforehand, but my original paperwork says 6:30 and every meeting has been 6:30 start time.  Maybe she changed it or maybe she mistyped? I will email a friend of mine who goes as well and find out.  I usually get there around 6:15 just so I can get a seat.  :)  I guess the worst that can happen is you will arrive at 6:00 and there won't be anyone there.  LOL

Thats strange, the email came from the person who runs the meeting so maybe she messed up. I was there in June and I think you were sitting two tables back from me. Yes the meeting was full but no one had to stand. I actually got their at 5:30 to fill out some paperwork and then people started coming at 6 ish. That seems like a million years ago LOL I missed the July meeting but Ill see you this Wednesday!!!!!

Hey Darcie! Yep, Rhonda is the one who runs it...maybe she's changed the meeting time.  My paperwork in my hands definitely says 6:30 every 3rd Wednesday.  I just got off of the phone with a friend who also goes and she said she was told and has always been there at 6:30 too.  We both leave our houses at 6.  Very weird. The June meeting was the most I'd seen in attendance...hopefully there will be that many this week!  I was sitting in the back at the June meeting, but I don't remember everyone I saw.  I'm senile sometimes.   LOL  July attendance was low (Rhonda was not there) and they said that was common for July meetings.  :) Can't wait to see everyone!  I hope it's not changed to 6 though...my husband doesn't usually get home from wor****il right before 6, so I wouldn't be able to go very often if they do change the time. See you Wednesday!
