Gee... I've been trying to get a Parkie to be an Assistant/Chat Host on the forum which I manage on The Microsoft Network - the "Chronic Disease & Disorders Forum" - for some time. I am offering a FREE full service, unlimited online time (when the system is accessed directly, without going thru an ISP) account on MSN - complete with the system's resident bugs and glitches! <grin> as incentive. I've had a PD Newsgroup set up in my MSN forum for 18 months and it REALLY needs to have it's own host, 'cause I'm too busy to devote the time needed to run such a Newsgroup. Hence, this area is languishing dreadfully... HEY... THIS is virgin territory for someone! Sense of humor a must... <smile> You'll need to be running Windows 95 PC, to access MSN.

I am not interested in being a host for this as we are in the process of moving to another state so I don't want that added commitment. However, I thought I'd pass this along in case any of you would like to host a support group. Thanks Hi, MsSuss. Thank you for your message. I am writing to let you know that we would *love* to have a support group for Parkinson's Disease begin in the Better Health & Medical Network. We would not be able to provide a dedicated chat room, but we could provide space in one of our public rooms for a 1 hour weekly support group meeting. To learn more about us (and our current schedule of support groups), just Keyword: Better Health. Then click on the Events, Chats & Group Meetings button. In order to begin a support group, we usually ask for a volunteer who might be willing to host or "facilitate" the group. Would you be interested in hosting a group -- or do you know of someone who would be? Please let me know if you are interested in starting an online mutual support group. I look forward to your response. Have a good day. :) For Better Health, Mary Better Health & Medical Network (keyword Better Health)
