I have to go out of town until June 7. It is in the mountains and I have spotty internet connection there. Group will start after I get back. I haven't decided the day of the week yet. It will be around 9 EST.
Our first meeting will be an open meet-and-greet. The following week, we'll start discussing articles I find. I'll announce them ahead of time, and all will be just a few pages and easily readable. The articles will be similar to:

I will open the room 10 minutes early, and make it private 5 minutes after the start time to minimize disruptions.
We won't discuss meds because everyone has different experiences with them.
I'm adamant about everyone who wants to speak getting a chance to speak. I usually go down the line and give those present an opportunity to give their experiences or opinions. You can say "pass" if you simply want to listen in.
