New Support Groups and Store in Anchorage

Hello, fellow Alaskans.  I have been frustrated at the lack of support and availability of products for us here in Alaska, and decided to do something about it.  I've always believed that you can't whine, unless you take action to correct a problem. 

Anyway, I will be completing the ObesityHelp Support Group Leader training in February, and I have secured a location in which to have meetings.  It will be a permanent site, so that we can do things such as have a clothing exchange, and so that we can have a small store carrying protein powders and vitamins, and save on the horrendous shipping costs we pay. 

I have a website set up at www.losersbench.info, and I would welcome any suggestions, input, etc.  to make this a successful resource for all of us.

Kimberly,  How did you go thru OH for the Support Group Leader training, I have tried to find out about it, and haven't found anywhere on the board to ask.  Any info would be of a help, I am in Fairbanks and there is any Band support groups here. 

Thanks in advance

Johanna,  having a Band group in fairbanks would be great!!! I am in north pole. I know that there are a few banders up here..

Rebecca, I have found out that the rooms at Noel Wein Library are free, I am just trying to decide if I want to do the training or just do informal meetings here.  I know there are a few of Dr Todds paitients and a few of Dr Searles patients in the Fairbanks/North Pole area, and no SGM for band patients.  I will see what I can come up with in the next week or so.   Feel free to pm me with any suggestions.
