DFW/NORTH TEXAS MGB SUPPORT GROUP

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheri,

Welcome to the group!!!!!! Where in Texas do you live. I live in

Keller which is a suburb in north Fort Worth. I'm wanting to get a support

group together for the

DFW/ North Texas areas. Everyday we are getting more and more Texas people

pre & post MGBers. I am going to be out of town starting today but as soon

as I get back

I'm going to do a headcount and get everyones info together so we can make

this happen.

I think we have close to a dozen in the area so far. While I'm gone if any

of you would like to e-mail me privately at smootgen@... we can

get this ball a rollin'.

I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome aboard!!!!! I'm signing off and doing web

only until after the 4th.......HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!

Love,

Genz ( Genzel from Keller, Texas)
