new facebook closed group

There is a need for a closed facebook group so we have started one, in addition to the open group. You are all invited.

Closed Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/386335411472271/

Open Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/354875557944414/

Thanks for the info, Tamsyn.
Would you mind telling us why there is a need for a closed group/what the difference is between the two groups?
Thanks in advance!

People wanted to share information in a more private setting. We originally started the group as a proselyting mission to spread EL, and while many want to do that, they also don’t feel comfortable sharing photos of their kids, and they don’t want posts that could be seen as bragging showing up on their personal friend’s newsfeeds. I didn’t know it would do that. The open group is bigger and is doing well, but the closed group has EXPLODED with activity. They both serve a useful purpose.
