Barbara: Good luck on your new support group. I hope you have as much fun and stimulation from your group as I do from the 4 groups I help facilitate. You can contact the Wisconsin Parkinson Association at (414) 447-2563 with assistance in starting your group. They should be an excellent resource for both "start-up" ideas and suggestions for topic/speakers. Good luck!
