Regarding "Groups"

I accidently clicked on Groups and noticed that a few new members had started a group to discuss their own situation, by way of introduction. No one will know about them in a group, they need to post in one of the caregiver boards. There used to be several Peer Volunteers to check for new members. I hope that some of the older members will keep an eye out for new members who might get "lost" in a solitary group.

    I have not participated in any groups. My thoughts were it detracted from our ‘group’. Here in the main forums. What’s everyone else think?

    Agree. I think collecting the information for new members may be helpful, and i know there was an FTD group, but beyond that im not sure. Looks like some folks have just used it to post and should be redirected. Good for catching that Iris.
