Clothing exchange this Saturday

Clothing exchange and pitch in

October 24,2009

11:00am - 3:00pm

Calvary Chapel on the Horizon.

1117 south brideport road

Indianapolis, Indiana 46213

 Please bring gently used clothing and a bariatric friendly dish.

Clothes need to be prewashed with no stains or holes.

Food needs to be bariatric friendly meaning no doughnuts or things we are not allowed to have. If you would like to bring water or paper plates and such let me know these are stables that need to be there. Sometimes we don't have any and I want to make sure this time those items are at least covered.

Its a time to come together and have fun. All are welcome you need not to have had the surgery. For those that are pre op this is a time you can meet some of us who have had the surgery and ask your questions. For those of us who have had surgery its a time to come together and get some new clothes and have fun watching each other shrink.

We do have a 15 minute rule. Since this is geared toward people who have had surgery we allow those people to go in first and shop for clothes then all others can follow after 15 minutes.

Our church lets us hold this free of charge. We do ask that you bring non perishable food items to give to our food pantry.  I think its a the least we can do for what the church has done for us for now over a year!

 If you have any questions ask away. there are plenty of people here who have been to alot of exchanges and can help with any questions.

Our biggest exchange since I have hosted it was like 70 people. I want to try to break this record. So start planning!

I SO want to come, just don't want to expose people to my germs. I'm totally bummed. There are going to be friends there that I haven't yet met in person. Have a great time all!

I have plates and silverware. 

Remember everyone if we could bring a few cans for the food pantry it would help many.

See everyone tomorrow

Was just thinking, know what the worst part of missing the exchange is (besides seeing all my friends)?? All the yummy food. I always get to try something new and yummy when I'm there. If there's left overs and anyone's driving through Danville area on your way home (Annette, Jana?) and wanted to drop off a plate at my front door, I wouldn't complain! :) 

I'm sick of toast and soup.

I am bringing SF strawberry/apricot filled vanilla cake and a pork roast marinating in jack daniels marinating bag. Found the Sf cake recipe off Splenda.com......
Mellisa. Germx yourself down and come. I work w/ the public so If I haven't got it yet i doubt I will. lol

Shanna, I have seriously considered it, but would feel just awful if even one person got sick because I wanted some yummy food! :)

I am new to this forum, as we just moved here from CA in May. My mom and husband and I have all had bariatric surgery. My surgery was 7/10/07 my husbands was 10/09/2007 and my mom's was 4/14/09. She's still in the shrinking stage and doing fantastic. I had a baby 8 months ago and I am working on the last 10 pounds from pregnancy. I was wondering if it would be ok for us to join you tomorrow?  Thanks!
