I just tried to do this, but apparently I need a minimum of eight of accounts to set off a starter pack. So ... any more willing volunteers to be in the "first release" so I can get us up and running?

I have been compiling a “list” of #CareExperiencedFamilies … and am wondering whether to turn the list into a starter pack.

Would that be appropriate / helpful / useful?

Alternatively I could create an “empty” starter pack then try to get folk to add themselves?

🤔🤔🤔

Thoughts very much welcomed!
