Hello! We would like to introduce you to the NSRC Computer Support Group. It's a great group made up of a wonderful and diverse mix of people from all over the country, and we have several members from Europe and Australia as well. Our membership is over 300 strong, and growing every week. We would be delighted to welcome you into our family! We have a great, good time together, and we learn a lot together too.

You can e-mail anyone in the group you wish, your mail will always be welcome. We will provide you with a membership list upon request. Also, you may write to any of us to request information, ask questions or just get acquainted; our names and e-mail addresses are listed below.

We offer special services for our members: from our "Good Docs List" we can provide you with the names of doctors who specialize in all of types of sarcoidosis, and, in most cases, practice within your local area or state; an extensive, up-to-date resource library; a country-wide person-to-person network; and a traditional support group list by city and state. ( We do ask that you reimburse the NSRC for postage for any resource material that must be sent snail-mail, with this small exception, all our services are free.)

In addition to making new friends via e-mail, there is plenty of opportunity to "talk" with each other at our lively and informative chats on AOL. Twice a week, you can find anywhere from 25 to 40 of us chatting away! Our

AOL chat schedule is as follows:
Thursdays at Keyword: PEN; at 10:00 P.M. EST, Room: Equal Access Cafe

Sundays at Keyword: PEN; at 6:00 P.M. EST, Room: Helping Hands Cafe

Each week, the Chat transcripts are e-mailed to all members.
