Greetings,
I have referenced CAR-PGa on the wikipedia pages for Merpcon and Tolkienmoot
over the years, but I see the delete in 2007 (by a no-longer existent account
it appears) as being not-notable as such a small club that has not had an
impact.
Are there points of note where the organization members have made a significant
impact on the related topic that could be quoted to point out notability?
I just created a page for WSTRA, and will see if they take the same approach
(hundreds of members related to recreation therapy).
What is the current member count for CAR-PGa?
Thanks!
-Hawke

Mission: Clearly establish through rigorous scientific
testing the causal therapeutic and educational impact
of role-playing gaming on participants.
"Holistic medicine treats the person rather than the disease,
its concern lies with the 'whole person' and with permitting
individuals to assume self-responsibility for their own health.
Whereas illness is the sole concern of 'traditional medicine',
holistic 'well medicine' deals with wellness and health promotion"
