[Viva] Fwd: FW: Jane - New Social Networking Group for HIV+ Women

[Margarite Sanchez]

Here is the info I got back from Jackie (at Living Positive BC) regarding
the women's support group. See below.


No official facilitator.  Suzan Kreiger and/or I will be at the first couple
of get togethers, have a coffee and leave.  We can provide information
regarding what Positive Living is offering, programs, how to access an
advocate and the Housing Kiosk, what happens on retreats, do women come in
to the free store, etc.



Nothing is paid for at the café.  There is no budget for JANE.  There is no
structure planned. We see it as a ‘Suits’ lite.  Suits is our program where
gay poz men get together once a month for a meal at a Vancouver restaurant.



We believe it could be an opportunity for women who work, or are on their
feet, who want to meet other women that are on a good path to wellness,
could meet each other for social networking, support, sharing wellness tips,
resources, personal experiences, etc.



If women of JANE want to branch out for an evening at a movie or a pot luck
at someone’s place, or an outing of some kind, we will be glad to help
organize it.



Suzan and I have met women who rather not access the Positive Living BC
space or PWN, but want to know other positive women.



Positive Living has no agenda except to offer women something we have heard
from positive women is needed.



The first gathering will be; *Thursday, June 9th, 4:00 pm Zawa Restaurant,
920 Commercial Drive @ Venables*.  This is a temporary spot, we could adopt
it for future meetings or change venues.



I hope this is helpful.



Right now I am taking names and contact information of women who wish to be
contacted about events, dates and times.



I hope all is well



Jackie
