They are used to seeing Fraidy-Cats at their meetings, so you will fit right in! You know I've skydived before and I learned that you need some fear when you skydive or you might forget to put your chute on! Seriously, we would hear stories about people with thousands of jumps getting so comfortable they forgot their chute (not sure if it's true, but it's make a good point that fear is not always bad). <br /><br />I suggest that you call the local president and talk to him/her to get to know someone before you go. You might also take a friend or family member with you to the first meeting.<br /><br />I realized that for me it is actually hard figuring out what to say. TM will make you a better writer (not that you need help in that area) but I think anyone can improve.<br /><br />Let me know when you go to a meeting and what you think of it.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796394262608631697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165761105636528249.post-33285226377898342062012-05-10T09:28:31.678-05:002012-05-10T09:28:31.678-05:00This is great Sue!
