Chronic Pain News Letter

Vol 3 - Issue 1 - October 2003

 

Thank You Soli!

Solitaire is on bed rest.  She is taking a much needed rest and is on docter's orders to get the rest she so very needs.  In addition, she is taking a break from CPSG.  As you all should know by know, Solitaire has been the message board administrator for approximately 3 years. and has done an aoutstanding job!

Soli has also been the acting Forum Manager for the past year.  RaggedyAnne and SunE were unable to be full time participants in CPSG so Solitaire stepped up to the challenge and did a valiant job of keeping things going and giving every one of us the support we all needed on a daily bassis.  Can you imagine reading every single message on that message board and posting messages of support to everyone, every day? Well Sollitaire did that and much much more!

If you have the time, drop Solitaire a little note of thanks and support.  After all she is going through a very rough time right now with her health.

Her eMail address is:  solitairem2@hotmail.com. You can use our Ecard site, Sun-E-Cards.com to send her a message of thanks and support.

 CPSG IS MOVING!

CPSG is Moving from Delphi to MSN!
Yes, you read that correctly, our Chronic Pain Support Group is leaving Delphi Forums and moving to MSN Groups (where it's free). After many false starts and many discussions about moving CPSG to a free forum location. We are finally taking the plunge.

Our goal is to begin posting to our new site on October 14, 2003 and to post only to CPSG at MSN  by November 1, 2003.  

We will keep the Delphi site open until November 14th. During the one month period after the new site opens and the old site closes for good, we will post to anyone who happens by the old forum at Delphi inviting them to our new home on the web.

We want to be sure that we have given every opportunity for old and new members to find us in our new home, so I'm  asking that everyone forward this newsletter to every member of CPSG that you know.  This will help us get the word out that we are moving from Delphi effective October 14, 2003.  

CLICK HERE to go to the new site. Be sure to click the "join now" link in the upper left area, or you will not be listed as a member and cannot participate in chats or post to the message board.

The sooner you join, the better chance of getting the user name you want. And the sooner you can catch up with old friends and meet new ones!

SEE YOU THERE!
