Yesterday I went to meet with a guy that started an out reaching program to injured veterans, he just got promoted to the National President of his organization. I told him about my plan to start my own fibromyalgia support group here in HAwaii and showed him 3 pages of my plans and ideas I had written down. For now, I will start a group for veterans only but once I get it going, I will then create a 2nd group out side of the VA for civilians. And then I showed him my plans for how I will have once a month outings (ex: beach) and on those outings, I will converge the 2 groups! He absolutely loved it and said that my ideas are so awesome and it should really bloom once i get started!

So he is going to talk to the VA about getting me a conference room in the VA building for me to hold group meetings once a week! And I will be finding a graphic designer that will help me make / print posters and pamphlets to advertise my support group. I told him that I will be looking for psychologists to join in and aid my group for all their frustrations and depression issues. I will also be looking for doctors that are fibromyalgia knowledgeable to be guest speakers at my groups. There is so much more in the plans but not enough space here to tell you all of it! His organization is non profit and mine will be too, but his will fund whatever materials we need for printing and so on. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!! I can't wait to get started! YAAAYYY!!!! WHOOOHOOO!!!!!
