Anyone from Portland Oregon????

[DontLookBack]

Hello Everyone!
Just wondering if anyone is from Portland or the Pacific Northwest. I was wondering if there were any local support groups or maybe we could create one. I do love these forums and on-line groups and would love to see if theres support outside of here.
Thank you,
Kelly White

Ding!

That was me chiming in. 

We did have a meeting Saturday, and DHM ran the meeting, in her new role as co-leader! Jerry is still the other co-leader, but he went off to a wedding (looking dapper for a change). Next one is Dec 6th, 12:30 pm, Casey Eye Institute, all about facial retraining, and sure to be good. DHM will have all the details.

Mindy, is there a group up in Snohomish? You can come to Portland if you want... Jackie we missed you, but we will see you next time I hope.

Oh, and Hi, Kelly, welcome to the forum.

No group to my knowledge. I know that there is a get together sometimes in or around the Seattle area. I missed the last one.

Hi from Vancouver, WA, formerly from Portland.  I haven't yet made it to the local support group....seems like something else conflicts with the meetings every time they have one.  I do hope to make it to one eventually.

Also rumor has it that "moderator Sunny-Disposition-Steve"    might be presenting to us - on the Intel campus this winter... introducung "the on-line ANA discussion forum" to people who are intimidated by the use of computers and the internet... and helping them to feel welcomed by our larger ANA community.

I hope this rumor is true.  The forum is a wonderful resource for AN patients and their families and we need to spread the word.
