I haven't found that yet either, Teresa. I assume that part of Business Mentor New York is not completed yet.

I do not know what is wrong with the groups I remember that in 2014 there were a few.

Well, As a Newbie, they may have to reestablish Groups in the programming scripts and have the Mentors and the Entrepreneurs (wannabe) select a Group option when signing on or editing to change.

Maybe the best way to join a group is to start 1. If you can't find 1 here check out Meetup in your area. I'm in a Meetup writers group that meets once a month and it is very helpful.
