Question about the Facebook group

Hi! Hopefully I'm not asking something that's already been addressed... I'm just returning after a long absence and looked, but didn't see anything.

The description of the group here says it's a Secret group, which would mean that nobody who's not in the group would see that you'd even joined. On Facebook, it says it's a Closed group, which means joining might show in other peoples' tickers and on your profile in your Groups. I don't advertise that I've had surgery and certainly don't want to broadcast it to the world LOL.... I really want to join it but not if it means everyone I know will know. Was it meant to be a Secret group instead of Closed?

    We launched it as a secret group but FaceBook puts too many limitations on secret groups and we changed to a closed group format.
