Any AA patients from the San Antonio area?

Hello there,

Are there any patients with AA, or similar from the San Antonio area? My name is Michael, and I live in San Antonio. I'm trying to meet people with a similar story, who might want to meet up some time and get to know one another. Maybe lunch, or a jog in area. How about facebook?

There are a few. I'm not sure they read this site. Let me see what I can do. It might take a few days.

In the meantime, plan on attending the Hope Step and a Cure walk in Houston on March 22. That will be a good place to meet people.

You can start a Community of Hope:
http://www.aamds.org/community-news/...s-and-families

The information on the Walk will be up soon.

The details of the Houston event should be posted soon. We know all the details but there still some computer links to get ready.

It will be at the University of Houston as part of the Frontier Fiesta.
