Pencil & Paper by Suzanne Berton |
CANGRANDS tries to assist GRG's and Kin-headed households by providing support
and information when and where possible. Input from all CANGRANDS is encouraged
so that we can develop programs and support applications to better serve GRG's
now and in the future. Here is a 'short-list' of what we do. Our 'wish list'
is too long to put on this web site.
-
On-Line:
- Access to a private support internet group.
- Exchange and share photos in a private group section.
- Share friendship in a nightly chat room.
- Gather information for distribution and for our web site.
- Provide a newsletter (4-6 times a year).
- 'Court support' whenever possible.
- Exchange birthday and other special date wishes.
- Invitation to special grandparent events to enjoy fellowship with informal afternoon or evenings out - whenever possible.
- Some telephone support when a member is in crisis.
- Some assistance in doing court papers for those grands who represent themselves.
- Support each other emotionally.
- Develop bonds with 'like minds'.
