Topic: Beckley WLS Support Grp Mtg 04/17
Hi Everyone!
The Beckley WLS Support Group meeting will be held on MONDAY, April 17, from 7:00-9:00pm at Raleigh General Hospital on Harper Road, Beckley. Our meeting location is in the Education Center (annex building on the Kroger side of RGH). Entrance is at the top of the wheelchair ramp. Guests are welcome and everyone is encouraged to attend!
CLOTHING EXCHANGE: We will now have a clothing exchange at each meeting! You are welcome to bring any clothes that no longer fit you and take home some that do. As you lose out of them, bring them back and exchange them for others! You do not have to bring clothing to take clothing, and bringing clothing is not required.
Restaurant cards for Dr. Shin and Dr. Stickler's patients (as well as some other area doctors) will be available for anyone who needs one. Don't forget to bring a recipe (or two...or three) for our online group cookbook (or you can email them to us), a "before" picture (if you have one), or even bring some "before" clothes!
You can view our monthly calendar on the Yahoo Group at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/beckleywlssg/cal, or by visiting our support group website at http://www.geocities.com/beckleywlssg/ The 2006 meeting dates are also listed below.
Looking forward to seeing you Monday!
