SWDA Support Group Saved!
Since our recent decision to close the support group, several volunteers have stepped forward to take over positions that were in need of being filled. Thanks to them, our monthly support group meets will continue as before, on the second Monday of most months. However, we are always seeking volunteers for various positions, and anyone who wishes to offer an hour or two each month can get in touch with us.
The meeting schedule is as follows:
