Dear Ones,
There is an 'open to the public' group about giftedness called OGTOC. It deals with all LOG, and 2E topics. I've enjoyed the opportunity to participate in the past. I thought that some of you might be interested or might have friends who are. If you sign up, you will have chances to sign up for 'online conferences ' with various experts. This means that for a few days you email inbox will be flooded with email on a particular topic, so it may be worth it to sign up with a secondary email accound. Anyway, I'm passing this information along. Use it in good health!
Love and MOre Love,
Grinity
