Meetings  -

 Members found that our monthly Thursday evening meeting were difficult for many of them to attend.

Continuing on Saturday December 12, 2009 at 10:00 a.m., we will have a support and get together time.  We will meet at Cosi's in Uptown Normal (on the corner of Beaufort and Linden).  Order your own coffee and/or breakfast at the front counter if you wish (not mandatory).  Parking available off of College Avenue.

Following meeting will occur on January 9, 2010.

For those living near Pontiac, please contact Robin at (309) 828-8469, if you would be interested in a support group in your area.
