JOIN US ON AUGUST 26 TO
DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF OUR PN GROUP

Hello member,

Over the years, we all have benefitted from the information, education and social connections provided by the DC Metro PN Support Group. It is an active and successful group that has grown to nearly 350 members. It offers regular Zoom meetings, Facebook page, website, Resource Directory, and other services.

But there are many other PN sufferers and their caregivers who are suffering alone. 

A small core group, including Pat, Mike, David and Judson, has been working on a new initiative, which we are calling the Peripheral Neuropathy Support Network.

Our goals are: (1) to reach more people to help them organize into NEW community-based groups, (2) to link these groups together into a network, and (3) to provide education, emotional support, and advocacy for all PN sufferers and their caregivers. 

By December 31, 2021, this core group wants to transition to work primarily on this new initiative.

To simultaneously grow this outreach initiative and to sustain the DC Metro chapter, YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!

Most critically, we need someone to step up to assume the chapter leadership role, freeing Pat to work on the new initiative. We also need a few other volunteers to help with other aspects of running the DC group. During this transition, we will be available to train and support these volunteers.

Please join us to discuss how you can help via Zoom on August 26 from 2 – 3pm

NOTE: If you need to reach us by phone to discuss this important initiative, please call 540-300-6730 and leave a message. We will get right back to you. 

Sometimes, local support groups need just a little assistance to get started.

Hi Reston Group

We are in the process of setting up a new service to help support group leaders.

It will allow leaders to post their contact info, schedule, notices of future events, bragging er… dignified descriptions of past activity, photos.  Basically anything they want to tell the world (or, more relevantly, their members).

We are still testing this, but it is working now. There are some features of the current configuration that we need to change. And we need to post instructions to allow the leaders to start.

Stand by.
