[kerry napuk]

Dear Zelle

Great story!  And a triumph for self organising and taking responsibility.

Well done!

Kind regards

Bui--

We are pleased to have you on the list!

Last fall I did one for my church where we did 4 evenings in a row, 6:00
to 8:30 pm. It worked.

A couple of years ago, I did one in a senior healthcare setting, 3
Wednesday afternoons in a row, I think from 3 to 6 pm each time. It
worked. 

If you have difficulty finding the reports on the OSlist archives, let
me know, and I'll see if I can find my copies to send to you.
