There are 5 people that run the TSA MI Chapter for the entire state. We go to different cities to have information Exchange nights, run a support group in Madison Heights, tried to start a support group for adults, help with questions that people have and organize activities for families. We also help run a Walk-A-Thon in Saginaw, a Family Picnic, and Holiday Party each year. We publish a newsletter for 700 members that not only has to be written, but also printed and assembled and mailed.

We have been doing this for many years and would like to retire. If we had more help from our members, we might be more likely to stay for another year. There are many behind the scenes jobs that we do that could make our jobs much easier. Please check the list to see if there is something you can do. Don't you want a place to go to show your family that you are not alone and talk with other parents who are going through what you are going through?

Our Elections are in February and the last day to vote or join the cause is February 28, 2010.
