Last night at 20:00 (8pm) EDST was a success because at lease one other person showed up showing it can work. Joanna suggested that 8PM EDST (NY) is too early for our westcoasters so lets try again monday nite at 10:00PM NYtime. Here's how to do it: go to PEOPLE CONNECTION from the main menu select PRIVATE ROOM type PARKINSONS ROOM If this works we can think about expanding the meeting time to every hour on the hour so no matter if ur home or working u can always chk in every hour. besides, our overseas members from asia and europe can always have a convenient time for them. In the meantime, to make this more "official" I have asked the manager of the health section to establish a permanent open forum room for us there. Ill report their decision. Hope to see some of u guys in our new PARKINSONS ROOM every nite at 10: nytime joyce
