Welome to the Upstate's Best Support Group

For our first post, I would like to introduce our group. We are small but very caring. We keep in touch between meetings even if we can't always be at our monthly meetings. Each meeting has the following general agenda: light, healthy lunch with non-caffeinated, non-sugar drinks; share a sentence praise and prayer; program (facilitator or guest speaker leads); discussion; closing prayer.

For 2010 we are hoping to raise enough money from members and their friends and families through online shopping through the http://www.igive.com/ portal. So far we have about $14 accumulated in our account for the Spartanburg Christian FMS Group. If we earn another $12 before May1, we will be able to get our money out in time for our Awareness Seminar. You can earn money just by searching for online purchases even if you don't buy anything. Every penney counts!

Last year's FMS Awareness Seminar featured Dr. Charles Lapp from Charlotte who is one of the foremost researchers and clinicians in the study of FMS and CFS. His presentation was very enlightening. This year we need to have committees for advance advertising, refreshements, and for program set-up and clean-up.

Please join us on the second Saturday of each month at 12:30 to 2:30 PM at my home in Raintree on the west side of Spartanburg. Our theme is "Caring by Sharing". Hope to see you soon.
