Wheeling with new wheels
I may have found my 1 person with all the connections I need to make Infobility work. I met a lady at the Chili Cookoff on Lititz (not mine) who works for the Elks. She meets and helps people in their homes. She only works with kids but she keeps in touch with people and refers them if it's not her area of expertise. I can help with the vocational area and maybe organize a newsletter for her new supportive group for families who need to learn what is available once kids are no longer school- age. Sound familiar? That's what I tried to do but no parents wanted t hear that AND some became insulted when I suggested that they may need help.

Wheeling with new wheels
I hope I'm over-thinking this. I answered an ad of a man who was interested in starting a group to help and support people who want to start businesses. We corresponded and I offered ideas of my own including saving money, time dollars (bartering with each other for services) and disability. He even said he liked the last one. Then he asked for a photo; I should have known. I think he was primarily interested in me not my ideas. He mentioned his ideas briefly but never really described them. He also belongs to "TransAmerica" an MLM on insurance. I told him I wasn't going to promote that. I hate to assume the obvious but unless he replies soon I will chalk this experience up to nothing.
