3 meeting structure she knew it would be the right fit. In Fall 2015 Jennys group became an affiliate of the MSF Independent Support Group Network. With regard to the new affiliation Jenny said As a result we have had new members attend the meetings and I have seen increased enthusiasm and connection among current members. She recommends that new group leaders use all the tools available to them to help get the word out about their group. In my opinion meetup.com social media and national MS organizations such as the MSF are really all integral sources to use collectively in attracting new group members she said. Jennys story seems to be proof that lifes unpredictability can sometimes be a wonderful quality. A passion and career that began 12 years ago ultimately led her to a fantastic opportunity to create a local support network when she was diagnosed with MS. So why not pick up a new hobby this year You never know where it might lead.
