The "Living Life Group" celebrates our 1st Anniversary!!!

Can you believe a year has gone by already?

This group has grown and become a huge success thanks to your ideas, support, sharing & caring! Happy Anniversary to all!

Just like last year, we will also be taking a group photo during our break in front of the fireplace!

Our guest will be Lois Pierce! She is a dietician who works with our friend, Heather Gagliardi! Lois will be talking with us about eating healthy during the holiday season! Including tips on how to plan/attend parties/group functions, healthy cooking substitutions, etc. Have any questions? Ask away!

December Guest is our good friend, Ellie Collins! She will be sharing with us about how to handle stress without eating it away! Just in time for the holidays!

6-7:30 PM Kay Auditorium

The original Roger Williams support group!

This group has been run by Ellie Collins for seven years and is a great way to wrap up the week before Thanksgiving! Most of us originally met each other at this meeting and would be lost without it! If you have questions or concerns about making through the holidays, please come and share them with us!

Please note: that this meeting is usually the 4th Thursday each month but because of Thanksgiving and Christmas, the meeting falls on the 3rd Thursday and will resume on the 4th Thursday in January!

Do you have a desire to inspire?

Would you like to share your story and before & current after photos with others? Dr. Pohl & Dr. Giovanni are just about done with their website and have a section of the site dedicated to their patients' successes!

Please email your testimonial and photos to [email protected] and complete the attached media release form. Bring the original form to me or mail it to: Julie Nolan, 79 Harcourt Avenue, Pawtucket, RI 02861.

I hope to see you at one of these meetings this week but if you are unable to attend this month, please plan to attend next month...mark it on your calendars, add it to your iphone, blackberry or sticky note it all over your house!!! The holidays are coming and we need all the support we can get!

Please call me with any questions or for added support!
