Ha! (I thought you'd never ask!)

Well, one of the girls that belongs to both support groups "offered" to keep up with what the other support group was doing and when they were scheduling activites so we could schedule our activities around it!!! So she can do both support groups easily!

I replied pretending l like the other support group would be doing the same same thing for us (scheduling around our activities...not gonna happen, I can guarandamntee it.)

Several BA CHEF members belong to other homeschool support groups. I have belonged to two support groups for many years. Sure, there has been conflicting events and activities...as a matter of fact, there was just this last Saturday! That's just what happens when you belong to two support groups...but I've never regretted being part of the two groups. I just worked around it. I never thought BA CHEF needed do anything different to accommodate me, though. I don't believe my other support group ever made any scheduling decisions bases on what BA CHEF was doing, either. I would think [the other support group] would be the same way.

As far as doing the [Peach Orchard] field trip with [the other support group], I won't be going and here's why...one of the main reasons I decided to stay with BA CHEF was because it was smaller. I was looking forward to smaller field trips. This sounds like it would turn out to be just another big field trip with a big support group. The last field trip I went on with BA CHEF before [the other support group] formed was a mass of kids and it was a madhouse! I was so excited about the smaller, more intimate BA CHEF because that!

Anyway, that's my two cents, for what it's worth.
