Greeting Friends,

I want to welcome our newest members as well as say hello to all of
my old friends. The Epilepsy Circle of Support at
http://members.tripod.com/~Ted_Bergeron/epilepsyhome.html has grown
to close to 800 members within our various groups. In order to
provide the best possible services I have decided to that I need to
let go of some of the control and let some of our members take more
control. This was not an easy decision for me to make, but it is
being done for the good of our Circle of support. This will leave me
more time to concentrate on our website.


The Epilepsy Circle of Support is now structured as follows:

Director: Ted Bergeron

Club Managers: Donna Wright - Parents of Children with Epilepsy
eGroups
Christeen Ford - Youngsters with Epilepsy eGroups
Tanya callihan - Friends of PWE - eGroups
Sheri Meyer - General Epilepsy Support eGroups
Jewl Wall - Seizure Alert dogs - eGroups
Kassie - Unique Childrens Advocacy - yahoo

More are needed!!!

Webring managers: NEEDED !!!!

There are still several Epilepsy Circle of Support clubs that need a
moderator. If interested please check out the listing of them at
http://members.tripod.com/~Ted_Bergeron/clubs.html
There are 20 groups ranging fom general support, parents
support, youngsters, advocacy, service dogs, challenged sports, etc..

If you find one that you would like to manage that does not already
have a manager listed then contact me at tedbergeron@... with
your name and email address. Managers have control to build up these
clubs with chat, responding to messages, and whatever their talents
allow.

I also need managers for our Epilepsy Circle of Support webring and
the Epilepsy Webring. Once again, please let me know if you are
interested.

Once the officers are set up I ask for them for a brief description
of themselves, their goals, or whatever. A picture would also be
nice. This information is used for a new section of OUR CIRCLE
so that everyone gets a more personal involvement with the Epilepsy
Circle of Support. You can view it at
http://members.tripod.com/~Ted_Bergeron/offices.html

This is the first step to our reorganization. I welcome any ideas
that you may have. As I mentioned earlier, although it is hard to
give up the complete control of these groups, It is being done for
the betterment of our Circle. This way other people have the
opportunity to lend their talents to make the Epilepsy Circle of
Support the BEST IT CAN BE.

I do want to mention that I have no objection to managers of the
Epilepsy Circle of Support plugging their own sites a bit as long as
they do not manage a group or webring for the purpose of enticing
members to their own websites.

Thank You,
Ted Bergeron
