SUPPORT GROUP
Hi well Marilyn ,Llesslee , Bev ,Mary and i got together on the 1st of june to discuss the group. after our last luncheon i was ready to leave as felt it wasnt the group i had joined , we all agreed...
Well more news , Marilyn and Lleslee want to take a step back from being in charge and let others be head facilitators as of October after relay for life. this will begin. they will still be a major part to the group and still support people and those within the group, but on a more lay back level after nearly 6 years they felt what with Family and work commitments it was becoming to difficult.. so as of the middle of October the head facilitator will be Mary Covill and Fran will continue as co-Facilitator and secretary.and still continue her Community liaison for BCNA. Mary will also be undertaking the Liaison course later in the year. Marilyn and Lleslee asked Mary and Fran to take the lead as they said they wanted people that had continued with training and were more assessable and also agree that Can care had begun to loose it's way and was becoming more a fundraising/ social and business like group rather than a support group which is not what was intended when started.
we all hope to take the group back to how it should be and just offer support, we will still hold our last friday of the month lunches at either the Delatite or the Deck.. will post dates etc later. we will still meet up with people privately when required, and
we hope to have occasional visits from speakers to up date us on what is available to us. re cancer and support.
the funraising will not be discussed at our lunches, and if anyone is considering faundraising we will arrange a different day to meet and discuss.
So Mary and Fran will be doing this as a trial from Oct/ to Feb to see if we still get the support and if people return to the group or if it is still viable.
