Hi Donna,
You and others have expressed the same sentiments.  Let me take a moment to respond.  There are two issues that make deconflicting activities difficult to accomplish.  First, while I am well aware of the calendars of other IDD support groups (I especially follow South Sound Parent to Parent, Thurston County Inclusion, and Thurston County Specialized Recreation), if you look at their extensive offerings, it covers most nights of the week days and sometimes weekends.  Additionally, we need a meeting space that will commit to us for a year at a time with a specific night of the week so our clients and guest speakers can plan in advance.  I could only find one venue that could do that for us.  We have spoken with Tracey in Thurston County Specialized Recreation, as they are the ones that primarily conflict with our sessions, and she is looking at how she might adjust.
Thank you for your interest.
Tom
