This past Saturday we had our first Get-Together and we really had a great time! There were twelve of us total. We started at 10am and went strong for four hours. We enjoyed lunch and just kept right on talking. What fun. Sorry, for everyone that missed this opportunity.
We started by each person introducing themselves, what church they were from, a little information
about their journey with Parish Nursing and where they were headed. Then we each shared at least five ideas/events/endeavors we tried in our church. This was wonderful and everyone came away with new excitement. After lunch we kept going, with our own Show and Tell. This was the most fun and Virginia gave us all a sample of the most beautiful newsletter, that she uses. Wow, thanks Virginia for sharing.

We had this first meeting in my Clubhouse at The Cosmopolitan Apartments at Town Center in Virginia Beach. This room was fun, because it was cozy and we had ovens for cooking our lunch and even an ice machine. However, I think if we get over twenty people at a meeting, we better move to our church on Little Neck.
We did decide to meet quarterly and I already have the room reserved for the following dates:
.....Saturday Jan. 9th, Saturday April 9th, Saturday July 9th and Saturday October 8th......
Seven other nurses emailed me of their interest in future meetings and that would make twenty, so
I will take reservations for the January meeting and do a first come basis. We all decided to make
it a covered dish meeting, which is always fun.

I did promise to put some pictures (our wheelchair/backpack pic) on here, but I have to get help from my daughter first.
Hugs and Blessings, Susan
