Sessions are free, but donations are greatly appreciated.

CNA’s goals for this GivingTuesday are to:

1. Hear 30 people’s stories at Open Mic 
2. Raise awareness for the CNA & have 30 people sign up for our newsletter (see right panel)
3. Raise $2,000 in donations to build an on-line course to teach self-management skills to chronic neuropathy pain sufferers

On-Line Meeting Etiquette:

1. No abuse will be tolerated, anyone being abusive or intolerant will be removed from the meeting.
2. Headsets work best for some people, they reduce the need to project (raise your voice) and may block some background noise.
3. It is good etiquette to put yourself on mute and to un-mute yourself when you wish to comment or ask a question.  Be aware, if you have disruptive background noise the meeting administrator may put you on mute to aid everyone’s ability to hear.

Meeting format:

We are primarily a neuropathy education group and so our CNA connection meetings focus on a specific self-management topic each meeting.  The topic is often not decided until soon before the meeting.  As standard procedure the administrator will read an article from the CNA website to start the discussion.

Note: These meetings will NOT be recorded.
