Facebook Groups and Pages

Our main Facebook page is where we post latest news and other items.

We also have an open Facebook group and several active Facebook chapters.

The administrators on the groups are paid-up HNS members, but you do not need to be a paid up member to join most groups. Please read group rules and try to stick to them. We surveyed members about this. The overwhelming response was that most people do NOT want an overload of self-promotion.
