on the subject of informal support groups

Beth's post inspired me to post about doing the same kind of thing for the Northern Mass folks. I know that I can not get to Brigham & Women's for their montly meetings....but I would love to have some sort of informal support group once or twice a month meeting around here somewhere....even my living room would be fine! Anyone interested? WE had a pretty good one going in Methuen, but it died out.

Hey, cool! Glad to help, -Beth 313/298/157/130

HI Jane. Glad to hear it. Let's see if we get any other responses

kim, i'm interested as long as it's not too early deb

It can't be really early for me either. Let's wait a bit and see what other responses we get...so we have an idea of who needs what for days times etc..

Kim I would love to have a support group in the area...like you getting into Boston is such a pain. I am in Haverhill.......... my email is [email protected] me know> I would even be willing to help, scout out a place to have the meetings and such...refreshments, spring water of course

HI Debbie.....OH good. this may get going after all. I thought it might be easier to have it here at my place. One of the problems we had keeping the Methuen meeting going was that we were using a room at a church. Keeping track of money to pay the place every once in a while was difficult because attendace was not dependable. After all....it is an informal group. Maybe we can switch off houses or just meet here....Just a thought. Kim

I'm definately interested, since i never get to Newton for my support groups. I work in haverhill and live in Dracut.... i'd be interested for sure!! ~Kim

Hi Kim. Glad to hear of your interest. Sounds like we can start looking at times and days. How does once or twice a month on a Wednesday evening sound?

Sounds like a plan.....just say when and where and I will be there.....I NEED this group and trying to make it into Boston is insane.....Call me when you are ready...OH and guess what I got a date!!! Yipppeeeee March 11.....
