About Me
- GNO from Leslie Stanley
- I started the GNO group approximately five years ago because I started thinking about what is REALLY important in life. Most of us run around from meeting to meeting, function to function, social event to social event, and don't make the time that we should for those around us who are important and matter in our lives. I was sick for the better part of a year, from December of 1999 to fall of 2000, hospitalized three times, underwent three major surgeries and nearly died. After going through all that, I realized that it was important to take time for the little things, make time for people, and savor every moment you can with family and friends. I wanted to make time for my girlfriends and take that time once a month to get together with them, catch up, share a glass of wine, a bite to eat and just spend time with them. The GNO group has really grown! Others got enthused about it and wanted to be part of it too. New people join us every month and it's always so much fun - and exciting - to meet them and get together with old friends. GNO has become one of the most important - and special - things in my life.
