Subject: CARE list information
To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN <[log in to unmask]>
Debbie WHite and others new to the main PD list have expressed an
interest in a sharing of caregiving for long-distance CGs. Debbie asked
about the CARE list, so I am again posting the info about it, even tho it
was posted last on 2/11--those who don't need it, just skip it!
I think there's real merit in Debbie's idea, and hope she will join
CARE . Of course , CARE members are also on Parkinsn list, so will be
aware of her idea--but not everyone reads everything! Thanks Debbie....

FOR NEW MEMBERS, HERE'S INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAREGIVERS LIST WHICH MAY
INTEREST YOU---
For the benefit of new members of the PD list, this is an update about
CARE (Caregivers Are Really Essential),the sublist especially for PD caregivers
(CGs). The need for such a list was evident from feelings expressed on the
PD list that there were times when CGs needed to be able to "let off steam "
in a place where this would not upset carepartners (CPs). Some of us have
caregiver support groups, where we can safely express feelings, get practical
support, and share experiences--others do not. The CARE list serves this need,
but DOES NOT shut off participation by CGs on the mainlist.We operate through
a listserv at Miami University, Oxford,Ohio. This is a closed list, and CGs
who wish to join may send a request as follows:
[log in to unmask]
SUBscribe CARE (your first and last names)
Instructions will then be sent to you as to how to proceed, when you have
been added to the list. List "co-owners" are Jeff Jones and myself.
Welcome aboard! Questions? email me or Jeff:
