    Be sure and join the INdiana page.  We just had a meet & greet packing party--and Kaye organizes dinners every month.  It helps you find other Navy families in your area.

    The meet and greets are where-ever and when-ever you want one.  I have lots at Panera Bread Co, because we can sit there and gab forever without costing someone a tip like at a regular restaurant. You can do a brown bag one at your home--just put out a question on the Indiana page and ask who in your area would like to meet.  It's as small as you want it or you can ask a VFW or American Legion if they have a hall they can rent or gift you.  When you are ready, just give out a Hoosier holler and I'll chat you through it.

    Then, join your sailor's ship page (here or on facebook.)  They will help direct you to FRG (something about Family Readiness group.)
