Northern NJ Support Group Meeting and ASBS Walk From Obesity
Farewell to another Summer! With the arrival of September, schools are
back in session, temps are cooling off, days are getting shorter. Fall
is right around the corner. This month also brings exciting news -
Lighter for Life support group meetings resume, with our next meeting on
September 11th, and the upcoming Walk From Obesity on September 17th.
Support Group Meeting:
Monday, September 11th will be our next support group meeting.
Meetings will be held in our interim location at the Paramus, NJ Lighter
for Life office on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7 PM. Only the
location has changed - the day and time will remain the same. We expect
to see new faces, so we'll have a "Let's Get Acquainted" focus this
month. If you haven't attended a meeting recently, this is a perfect
time to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones! Directions
to the office can be found on our website: www.LighterForLife.com,
or you may call the office.

ASBS Foundation 4th Annual Walk From Obesity:
The ASBS Foundation Walk From Obesity has added 2 new flexible options
this year. Until now, walks were held on one Saturday for all
locations. This meant that if it wasn't possible for someone to walk on
a Saturday they missed the opportunity to show their support by
participating as a walker. Now each walk location can choose to have a
Saturday or Sunday walk date. So if you've been unable to participate
previously, you can now choose a location that has a Sunday walk date
and register for that walk. If Saturday is a day that works for you,
choose a location that is holding a Saturday walk and register for that
location.
Also new this year is the online registration feature, as well as an
online directed donation method for individual walker accounts. Walkers
no longer need to collect cash or check donations from friends and
relatives. You can just direct them online to your secure walker
account to make a donation.
This year Lighter for Life is one of the co-sponsors of the Walk From
Obesity at the Manhattan location, Riverside Park. We'd love have
everyone join us at the walk. It will be a fun day, with lots of
goodies and prizes! Please register and join us on Sunday, September
17th in Riverside Park to raise funds for research of the causes and
treatment of obesity. Registration and more information: www.WalkFromObesity.com/manhattan
Hope to see you at the support group meeting and the Walk From Obesity!
