Dinah, you know better than to ask me that!! Anything that helps our members is OK with me... especially from you. My personal experience with person to person groups of support teams were that they varied in value wildly depending on who was running the meeting that night and who showed up. Some were really helpful, and some were a waste of my time. This was true no matter what organization was running them. Hence OCF opted for the message board. Some seemed to be commercials for products or the organization itself, and some wanted donations for the organization in order to participate. If you find a great leader and a good group they can really ease the anxiety.
