Thoughts on a retreat?
I love this board and it has helped me immensely through my journey. I got to thinking the other day after some of our recent losses and the struggles we are all going through and thought, "Woildn't it be great to try & get a weekend retreat together for those who would like to meet eacother in person, talk with one another face to face & do some things on the retreat to make us laugh, relax, or just be ourselves with fellow women experiencing the same struggles?"
Any thoughts on this? Good idea or not? I saw that post of Leigh honoring Jessica and there was a picture of her with a group of our HER2 members at a conference & it was nice to see them connected together. If there is enough interest, I'd explore with any other vounteers on how we can get it together.
