[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 295937, member: 1514"] Im not involving schools just yet. I will be doing good to just get the parents of this particular counseling agency right now. Baby steps...lol. I dont have a meeting area big enough to take on that large a crowd. Now if someone tells a friend and they want to come, that will be fine. We wont be providing child care, just isnt feasible. Joy and I talked about that. There isnt a place in the building and I dont have a budget for this. I am doing it basically on my own. I am hoping (praying) I can get the agency to do the printing for me. That shouldnt be too much for them. They have wanted to do some sort of group but simply havent been able to get the umph under them to actually take the ball and run with it. I am willing to do so. I think for the beginning, every two weeks would be a good time table. Im thinking the meeting time would be from 5 to 6. That way we could use the agency's meeting room with no problem. They have a large table with chairs and a white board. Definitaly will have a sign in sheet with area for names, phone numbers and email addresses. I plan on making a members list to pass out so everyone has a "friends list" that they can call or email if times get tough. I would have to think on Skyping in guest speakers. Could be done. I will have a laptop. I already know I am not going to use my families real names. I am going to refer to Cory as Scott...lol. Or I could just use the generic...difficult child...lmao. Take the board lingo over. I dont know about giving out the board address. I would have to think about that and it would probably depend on how many really give me an email address so I see how many have a computer. I may actually ask them how many have researched things online. [/QUOTE]
