June 26, - a "free" Family Health and Weight-loss Festival

Just found out there will be an event for the bariatric community. It's hosted by the Program for Life group, and will be held at the Headquarter Plaza Hyatt Hotel in Morristown.

While it's free for everyone, they are taking donations which all proceeds (after event cost) goes to the Childhood Obesity related Programs.

Khaliah Ali is expected to be there; along with other dignitaries. There will be chef teaching cooking; nutritionists; raffles and fun for kids of all ages. They are also planning a fashion show - which may be either done by professionals or use regular folks showing off our new bodies - or both.

Just got this from the person in charge of the event ....

 
Tom,

I switched the registration page…I did this because of the problems people were experiencing... The event is free and we want people to register without having to pay or "donate" any money. So now there is an option to register without a donation, plus an option to register with a donation.

If registrants choose the option "register with a donation" ,registrants can now put in the amount of $ they would like to donate.

The previous registration webpage was very confusing and thanks to the help of the emails of the people who have already registered and your wonderful help I was able to hopefully fix the problem.

Please let me know anything else that can be done to make the registration process easier. :)


So I will pass along any suggestions
