Get
together with people you know who have an interest in MD; parents, friends,
carers and adults with MD.
MDC
will put you in touch with your Regional Organiser who can help
you, along with your Family Care Officer who can pass information to
their patients in your area.
Find
a venue and advertise the meeting in libraries, doctors surgeries, hospitals,
on the internet and anywhere else interested parties might frequent.
Try
to interest a consultant or someone in research to come and talk to
the gathering.
Ask
for volunteers for the committee. You will need a Chairman, Vice
Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary. A committee can be any size
but this is the minimum. Your Regional Organiser will help with the
paperwork.
Setup
a bank account and your first meeting and you are on your way.
Good
Luck!
