PREAMBLE
We, members of the Grieving Community, having suffered the loss of a loved one, do hereby bind ourselves together in order to provide solace, comfort and counsel to others who have suffered loss. We hereby declare and establish the following constitution to preserve and secure our endeavors.

ARTICLE 1: NAME
This company shall be known as GROWW (Grief Recovery On-Line {founded by} Widows and Widowers).

ARTICLE 2: OBJECTIVES
This company shall follow generally accepted principles of good faith and common goodness to aid and assist all members of the grieving community in the dealing with their pain and suffering. The primary environment for this service is the Internet with various and sundry incursions into the general society to continue to meet GROWW objectives and goals.

ARTICLE 3: ENUMERATION OF OBJECTIVES
GROWW, Inc. is a non-profit (501c) corporation dedicated to providing support and assistance to people who have lost a loved one(s) to death. The workplace of GROWW is the Internet. GROWW services are provided in two areas: "chat" and resources.

The "chat" format is an interactive area of discourse and conversation where entrants discuss and address issues relative to their loss. GROWW maintains proprietary rooms for this activity on its website and provides rooms for specific issues such as, loss of child, loss due to drunk driving, loss of parent, and a number of other specialty rooms. An initiation room known as Grief Recovery is the primary source of information gathering. An entrant may remain here and/or share his specific loss and be further directed to a private room many of which are closely monitored and maintained with password security.

At present, GROWW maintains a number of chat rooms (a current schedule is displayed at the website: www.GROWW.org). Some rooms are opened 24 hours, e.g., HomeGROWWn, a room for general conversation, sometimes for frivolity. Rooms are usually "hosted" by volunteers.

The Resource portion of the GROWW website is extensive. As well as providing message boards for visitors to share, special areas are provided such as, "EMail to Heaven", where visitors can "send" (verbalize) messages to lost loved ones.

Linkage is provided with additional resource sites and services to allow visitors to take advantage of the full capabilities of the Internet. Additional sites and links will be made as needed and as worthwhile ones become available. Resource service covers a wide range of subjects. Visitors may obtain information or link to governmental, educational, health, medical, financial, and social services. Most of these sites offer linkage to GROWW.

It shall be the pursuit of GROWW to provide guidance and assistance, if need be, to sites who purpose is of a similar nature to GROWW. GROWW shall provide and foster guidelines to these "similar" sites especially with regard to client/member interaction.

A "sister" site is established as the "back office" of GROWW. Following the same tenets of quality and good will, its primary purpose is to relieve the main site of business related endeavors and to provide a site for business alliances and programs to raise funds for the continued success of GROWW.

GROWW will offer assistance to entities needing to extend service to their membership/employees and provide linkage to sites and services which are deemed appropriate resources. GROWW has been designated as a safe site and has been chosen for numerous awards.
