For several years now, we have had a survey on this page that allowed old Briars and new people interested in the Briarpatch to give us their correct contact information and to answer a few demographic questions so we could suss how folks were doing, business wise.
Starting in 2008 we have taken advantage of one of the new social networking sites to create a space you can join to meet each other and share information, resources and advice. So far, a few dozen people signed up and it is still pretty quiet, but as more of you join and begin asking questions and sharing, we expect the space to be the first electronic version of the old community activities and consulting sessions we shared with each other for so many years throughout the 80s and 90s.
So, if you're interested, please visit http://briarpatch.ning.com/ and register to join the community. Your registration will automatically put you on our mailing list and if you fill out your profile, you'll be able to share what you're up to and how you're doing.
With the recession getting worse each week, it seems logical that the mutual support of a community of friends in business is needed more now than ever before.
See you there.
You can aloes send an email with any comments or corrections you'd like added to the history page to claude@briarpatch.net.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Claude Whitmyer, Briarpatch Coordinator, 1982 to present
