MN Support Group??

Post by Mara »

Looking for other families in the MN area. I live in Richfield, MN and was wondering if there is a local support group that gets together to do events and a local picnic? Would love to get in touch. Appreciate your help!

Hi Mara,
I have been trying to get something going but havent yet. I do know of a few families mostly near the twin cities and there are about 5 listed on the registry including myself. I live in Duluth during the school year and Bemidji in the summer. I am will be a junior in college this fall but my schedule is pretty light if you would like to plan to meet up, that would be awesome! Let me know what you think and I can contact the other families that I know of in MN and see how many we can get together.

I probably could have looked that up, sorry. Do you make trips to Duluth? Like for shopping or anything. Would be fun to meet up once school starts up again. Or even before is you go school shopping during the summer? Let me know

Would any one be interested in a day at the zoo in Duluth?
