OMG OMG OMG OMG.

Now that I have exhaled.

Yesterday Mr. MM inexplicably emailed invites to the "Melting Mama WLS Event" which is more than a year away, and the fun part is that he didn't mention it to me.  I did not realize the links were live until I started getting emails to suggest fixes for his typographical errors.

Oh.  My.  The event?  It's on.  I might implode.  We signed off on the contract a few weeks ago, and I closed one eye, made a wish and hoped we could get this thing off the ground.  It all comes down to the mighty dollar, and getting everything paid for.  Otherwise, I wouldn't be as nervous.  This is something I have WANTED to do for a long time, but waiting until I had the funds to fund it myself?  No.

What do we need?  Right NOW we are actively seeking sponsorships from businesses related to providing to the bariatric community.  

Also, we are selling vendor spots for weight loss surgery friendly products and services.  

If you are targeted business, and would like to check out a sponsorship package or vendor spot, shoot me an email at [email protected].  

I am hoping to gather a group of helpful individuals who would consider volunteering for the event in some way -- there are jobs that will need doing.  Particularly those with pre-event experience.  We have an event planning company handing many of the details, but there are those things that I might/should delegate that I probably don't even know about yet. 

I've had ideas tossed at me -- but frankly -- I don't know yet -- it is early.  As things come up I'd like to have a crew of volunteers around.  If you know of things that we could be getting done -- please let me know.

Today, I am building a webpage for the event, so the first thing I actually need -- a logo!  ;)

PS.  I promise not to pimp anyone's face out for ticket sales unless you promise me you will actually come.  (Except for Sarahlicious, because we have a contract.)  

Starting WITH:  Margaret Furtado,Teresa White, Shari from OH, and Eggface (who states that unless she get**** by a BUS, she will get here.)  

WISH ME LUCK.

Hi - that depends on where you're from?  I go to two groups - the last monday of every month in Bridgewater and the second Wed of every month in Quincy (this month the Quincy meeting is in Pembroke on the second Thursday as the regular hostess will be out of town).

Hope that helps -
