I kind of identify with Sheila. Our ASC has collapsed. The closest functioning area is 800 kilometers away. However, we get email advice, and make use of some guidance and literature from our main office in the country. What I like about na is that as we grow, there is a clear path in terms of structure. Its not perfect, but its great to be a part of something with traditions as strong as ours, and that is about carrying the message. Its so simple, but can deal with complexity of growth.
I wonder if that made sense?
