are there any baytown, texas bandsters out there? and if so, is there a support group in our area other then in houston? driving to houston in the middle of the week is nearly impossible for me. i would LOVE to attend dr. spivaks support group, but the time and place just isn't feasible.

just wondering if there's any baytown, texas bandsters out there with a more local support group that gathers together here in town?

please let me know.

thanks, hazeleyegrl1

i live in laporte, i think there is one at the hospital on garth you might call to check ,i was also banded by dr. spivak

would anyone be willing to help me start a support group of our own in baytown???

one suggestion i have is to get the banded baytownians and persons from the surrounding areas, like highlands, mt.belvieu, crosby, etc. together @ one of the starbucks in baytown maybe twice a month.

would anyone be interested?

i really don't know how to organize one of these things but i think we really need an informal support group of our own in this area!

please let me know if anyone is interested.

thanks!

I would be interested in a Baytown meeting.

I would be interested in a Baytown group and I have a friend that would be also.

GREAT! so ummm, how do we get started? i need help getting the ball rolling. my fear is that if we simply mention a date, time, & location that we may have a few show up, and of course it will hopefully grow over time....

but what do we do once we're there????

Christie,

Please send me an e-mail to jpifer@calpine.com and let me know how to contact you. We have about 3 or 4 people interested in a support group in Baytown, so I think it would work out fine. Please just let me know, we are all anxiously waiting.

Thank you so much.

I'm still interested too.
