Welcome to the Home Page of The ON/AVN Support Group Int'l Association, Inc. |
Many years ago, you may have seen us on the Web with our original home page, "Marie's Breakfast Nook." Over the years, we kept that page on the Web to use as a doorway to our new domain and home page, the one you are viewing right now. AOL has recently discontinued all web pages for their customers. Therefore, "Marie's Breakfast Nook" has been permanently retired. Please take a tour of our new Website by using the menu buttons on the left. For a quick guide to all of our pages, please view our Site Map page. |
You will find much information and many inspirational articles on our Web site, as we tell the world what AVN is, and how it has changed our lives. However, no Web site alone can accomplish what our Yahoo Info and Chat group managed to do over the years. In many ways, our Yahoo Community site is the heart of our organization, where we gather together to share knowledge and support. We are a very busy interactive group, that much is for sure! In the not too distant future, we are going to be moving out of Yahoo and offer our very own message board and information libraries, right here on our own site. This means members will only have to join just one thing, our organization. We have far outgrown Yahoo's capabilities and need to be able to offer our membership a system that is easy to join, and to use. Please read an article on this on our Group New page.
