WELCOME TO C.A.R.E.

[Sharon Star <fsstarr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FOR NEW MEMBERS, HERE'S INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAREGIVERS LIST WHICH MAY
INTEREST YOU---
For the benefit of new members of the PD list, this is an update about
C.A.R.E. (Caregivers Are Really Essential), the sublist especially for PD
caregivers (CGs).  The need for such a list was evident from feelings
expressed on the PD list that there were times when CGs needed to be able to
"let off
steam " in a place where this would not upset carepartners  (CPs).  Some of
us have
caregiver support groups, where we can safely express feelings, get
practical support, and share experiences--others do not.  The CARE list
serves this need, but DOES NOT shut off participation by CGs on the
mainlist.  We
operate through a listserv at Miami University, Oxford,Ohio.  This is a
closed
list, and CGs who wish to join may send a request as follows:

listserv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SUBscribe CARE (your first and last names)

Instructions will then be sent to you as to how to proceed when you have
been added to the list.

List "co-owners" are Jeff Jones and Camilla Flintermann. The traffic on CARE
is much less than the main list.

Questions? email Camilla at:   flintepc@xxxxxxxxxx

Welcome aboard!
