ABOUT US

 About Us/Our History

        In the summer of 1992, the owner of the Magic Carpet "Bulletin Board"   
   wanted to  start a local affiliate of the People Exchanging Power
   (P.E.P.) network  founded by Nancy Ava Miller."Wicked Wanda"
   started organizing monthly  gatherings of those members of her
   bulletin board. 

       In the fall of 1995 representatives of the south side group 
     found there was a  similar group on the  peninsula called 
     the  Anchor Munch Group. We started  to attend each other's
     functions regularly.

       In the summer of 1996, the members of the group formally
      voted to become  a "Non-Profit" support group known as
     Tidewater People Exchanging Power     (T.P.E.P.)

       1998 we saw one last change to our groups name: The group
     wanted to change its name as the P.E.P organization was
     recognized as a for profit group which we  were not.

       To break the association we adopted T.I.E.D. Tidewater
      Individuals Exploring  Domination.
