Here is where you would come to place your grievance.

Remember why you joined this group.....for the Friendship, Support, Caring, and Prayers.

We want you to know ahead of time that the following is how we would like the situation handled. Please read the following and then follow the steps to allow us to resolve it.

1) If you feel that you are having a problem with another member, then before you do one thing, please contact us immediately.

2) If you feel that another member has treated you unfairly, or has harassed you in any way, then you must contact the Grievance Committee immediately.

3) We will not tolerate any smearing of another member nor taking any grievances to other members. We believe that all things can be worked out if done correctly.

4) To handle this correctly means all the parties agree to allow us to handle the situation before it escalates. So many conflicts are usually made by simple misunderstandings. This can happen easily when we have only the use computers instead of our eye to eye contact.

5) The first step we would take is working the problem/situation out, by forgiveness, and reconciliation between the people involved.

6) We are a loving group, and that would be our number one goal.

7) We want the problems and situations to come to us only. Please Do NOT make them PUBLIC, as most often, issues that are trying to be resolved are resolved much better, and fairly if only the people involved in the situation are the ones that are involved with the grievance committee and working towards correcting the siuation.

8)* The FINAL Decision of the problem(s), after discussion is the Board of Directors* to make the best choice for the Gateway To Friendship Group.

9)* If the problem demands attention right away, the Grievance Committee retains the right to make a desicion*.
