It is hard to believe our support group is coming up on its very 1st Anniversary. Our first meeting had only three attendees and now we have grown over 1000%.
As we enter into our second year, we would like to know how we can better serve you. Cyndi and I are putting together a schedule for the CM/SM Support Group meetings and we would like to have your input. We are gathering information now so that you can get the most out of your support group. We would like for you to share your ideas or thoughts for the upcoming year.
In 2009 we had neurosurgeon, Dr. Rifai, speak to our group. We learned a great deal about Chiari and Syringomyelia. We would like to bring in more speakers for the coming year, do you have a special interest or topic that you would like presented?
We would like to know what is of special benefit to you. Perhaps a speaker is not something you are interested in, but rather a group discussion of a particular topic. Please let us know.
We hope to balance the support group with a speaker every other month. However, we will adjust the calendar based on what you have to tell us. Even if you have not attended the support group meeting, we would like to hear from you, too. Your input is valuable to us.
If you could let me know, just email me as soon as you are able. We plan to have a rough draft of the 2010 Calendar available for the next meeting, Monday, Dec 7th.
