WOW - what a day! 5 NEWBIES. Welcome to one and all (you know who you are!)
I am posting this message for a particular reason... and it is not one I have EVER posted about in the past.
Today was great we helped 5 new members get started on the road to managing HCM and LIVING with HCM. This takes TIME - and I would NEVER cut this very important time out of the HCMA's process. Countless times when I say "OK, I think we have a plan here, do you have any more questions" - I hear - "I feel so much better just knowing the HCMA is here, thanks for answering my questions" or something similar...
Here is the task I leave you all with...
WE need to help more people, in order to do so we need to have more people on staff to provide services to all of those in need. How do we get these staff people - we have to pay them. In order to pay them - we need money - a topic I hate to discuss.
We need people who UNDERSTAND how important the HCMA is to help in these efforts. Be creative... think of ways WE can raise money to help each other.
Donations are nice and we appriciate every last dollar given - but we really need significant funds to accomplish all of what we need to do to save lives, improve lives and educate the masses about HCM.
I am VERY OPEN to ideas...lets talk about it...
