Next ANA/NJ Virtual Support Meeting
Sunday February 27, 2022
1:00 to 3:00 p.m. EDT
TOPIC:
Caring, Sharing, Networking and Support
Currently the Acoustic Neuroma Association of New Jersey (ANA/NJ) is limiting its sharing and educational meetings to virtual ‘Zoom’ opportunities. Future meetings may offer a speaker. Please mark your calendars and plan to join our Winter 2022 virtual support meeting.
Care & Share meetings provide a nurturing, non-judgmental environment with individuals who have shared acoustic neuroma experiences and can provide emotional support and encouragement through the stages of the AN journey.
You do not need to be a resident of New Jersey or a particular area in New Jersey or a member of ANA/NJ to participate, but you do need to register [registration information below]. Family members, caregivers, friends, and interested persons are welcome to attend as well. Bring your questions and join peers for this interactive opportunity.

Local Meeting Option
One of the commitments of ANA/NJ is to help organize local ‘satellite’ meetings for acoustic neuroma patients, friends and family who have found it difficult to attend our regular meetings because of their distant location. At a local meeting there would be the important opportunity to share experiences, ask questions and get to know other patients. If you have been unable to attend regular meetings, would you be interested in hosting a ‘satellite’ meeting in your area? It can be in your home or elsewhere, and can be a one-time or ongoing event. ANA/NJ will help contact patients in your local area and assist with expenses as needed. For information, please contact Wilma Ruskin at 609-510-9039.
Scholarships
We are happy to provide scholarships to assist AN patients for attendance at general meetings and in support of local meetings initiated by ANA/NJ members.
