Vicki..... don't feel stupid, just spend some time wandering arond the hundreds of pages of content on our site, (more than 300 pages of news articel for instance) pages on emotional assistance, and much more, including our resource list. I've worked hard for almost 5 years to build and write it all. You surely can't know all about it in the short time you've been coming, cause it changes weekly and gets added to all the time. Every week someone posts a link to something, out in the www that is already on our resources list. Don't feel alone. But if someone finds an organizaiton of value and credibility that isn't there, just email me with the data and I will review it and get it added. The idea is to give people every bit of information they can possible have a need for, every resource, etc. even if it means somone might like someone like SPOHNC better than us. The idea is to helpm no matter what the outcome.......hopefully the rest, like donations will take care of itself.

Kris, that would be a great idea, or give out "have you had one" buttons or something else. The priniting costs that this sponsor is willing to cover will only allow us to reach a small protion of dentists in the US, but at least the core artwork will be done, and the reprinting costs will be less. We'll give some away, and hopefully sell some to dentsits through the OCF web store, and that will cover the costs of continued printing and distribution. I will post here as they get closer to being printed. Along that small note, we just got in another 10,000 OCF lobby/postcards for helping patinets at cancer centers find this forum. Anyone who would like some and stands for them, just email me with all your shipping info and how many packs of 50 you need and how many stands and I'll get them out to you if you want to work the radiation departments, and social services people at any cancer centers in your area with them. This is our third run of 10,000, all hand distributed by OCF volunteers. But we need to develop a data base of who all the key people are in these departments to do some direct mailing in areas where we don't have members who can drop them off and resupply the hospitals nursing staffs.
