by Debbie Kerr, Quill Editor


 

Beginning in the fall last year, our chapter posted survey questions on our homepage. In cases like the February workshop and telephone seminars, the questions were used to help us determine the topics that interested you the most.

Some of the questions and answers are enlightening. For example, we seem to want to watch what we eat, but about half of us do not like to do any outdoor activities (exercise) in the winter. We also seem to have a coffee fixation.
