For the Massachusetts group, I requested they add the following.

There's a chance we can branch out - in the meantime they can benefit

by the monthly 'after meeeting' notes I send out.

Other Massachusetts support groups may soon form, in areas such as

the South Shore, North Shore, and the western part of the state. For

now be part of the Massachusetts online e-mail group by e-mailing

your contact information to Ruff at octoryrose@... so

that she can advise you when a group forms in your area and you can

connect online with others in your immediate area.
