Forwarded on behalf of Don Meyer and the Sibling Leadership Network:
Since last year's meeting in DC, members of the Sibling Leadership Network
have been hard at work on position papers addressing Research, Policy and
Advocacy, and Services and Supports. Please download and read the final
drafts of the White Papers by visiting this link:
http://www.siblingsupport.org/sln-white-paper-final-draft.pdf or by
visiting the Sibling Support Project's homepage at

We'll discuss these White Papers during November's historic Sibling
Leadership Network meeting in Columbus. You can download the conference
brochure at:

We hope to see you in Columbus!

"Where's Molly?" Jeff Daly asked his parents one gray spring afternoon in
1957. The six-year-old Jeff stood staring at the empty chair where his
little sister usually sat. After a brief silence, Jeff's father answered,
"Molly's not here anymore, but she's fine. It's nothing for you to worry
about. Forget it and eat your supper." Over the next several months, when
Jeff persisted in asking, "Where's Molly?" he was sent to his room. "She
lives somewhere else now and she's happy," his mother firmly told him.
"You're not to talk about this anymore." Jeff eventually stopped asking
about Molly, but deep down never forgot her.
