But perhaps the most profound impact of this support group lies in the deep connections forged between the members. 11178 11178 Pamela Bates President 10.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Pamela Bates 988 Ash Dr Geneseo IL 61254 3099156002 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $50 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $5231 Other Expenses.1007 Conferences, Conventions, and Meetings $657 Other Expenses.1 Misc $4269
