Marcy…. Good presentation — very animated ;o) — and you handled that very well! Thanks for the tips and resources!
I tried to look for tickets to the camp in May but apparently they are sold out. I would still like to speak with you regarding my site. Please call me at (949) 412-8161. I live in Irvine California and I am very commutable to most areas of the County and Southern California in general.
I am just beginning to work with Word Press and am a non technical person so I am groping in the dark. I see that there was an Orange Couty event just past and as would be the case I found out about it today and the event has already passed.
I am a veteran and my wife is a licensed clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst and we are very much concerned about the young men and women coming home from Afghanistan and Iraq suffering from thi problem. Thre are now on average 18 nsoldiers a day committing suicide and this obviously is a problem where help is needed.
We can’t help until a site is built. Do you have any detailed suggestions where I can start?
