Hey New Member!

A couple of things to know about the Plagiocephaly community:

If you have information to give or questions to ask, don't be shy! Just jump
in and ask them!

We would also really appreciate it if you stopped by the DATABASE section "Helmet/BandProviders". We have compiled well over 100 entries to date organized by state and/or foreign country. Here you'll find many cranial
orthosis providers hopefully near you!"

You'll also find lots of URL's in the Bookmarks section that will lead you to really good and interesting webpages. If you have one to add, we'd love to hear about it!

Then, you absolutely HAVE to stop by the Files/Photos section and check out our
cutie-pie kids! Everyone loves to see cute babies! (Even babies with crooked noggins ;)

So, there you go.

If you have any questions or concerns about the email list, let me know and
I'll do everything I can to help you out. In the meantime, tell us your
story and ask us your questions. It's really a great bunch of people and
they really like to help!

Oh yeah, if you REPLY to this message, you will be replying to me and the moderators only - not the whole community! But, if you still want to REPLY to this note, go ahead! We'll talk to you ;)

>>>UPDATE...
I'd just like to add that several things have been added to
our files here over the months - so bookmark our homepage! You'll be going back
again and again! We now have a frequently asked Q & A file in
the "files" section (includes ways to decorate your helmet/band, questions to
ask the doctor, and what to do when your doctor says everything is A-OK - but
you don't think so!), dozens of links to articles, and a file to help with
insurance appeals. Not to mention the over 2000 members (to date!) who are
very willing to help out with those questions!

If you're a little shy and don't want to pipe in, you can always back-track in
our message archives. There are thousands of messages there just waiting to be
dug up! Everything has a title, so things should be fairly easy to find.

Anyway, welcome to the group! Hope it is as helpful to you as it has been for me!

Oh ya, for those of you who have joined to SPAM on our members, please unsubscribe NOW! This will not be tolerated, and if you send out a SPAM message, you will automatically be banned from the group. For the vast majority of our members who do not SPAM, I appologize. Rest assured that this does not happen often! :o)
