LIPO Suffolk's March Meeting

Missed the last LIPO Suffolk meeting? Well, here's what went on....

v    We were thrilled to welcome some new members and see some members return that we haven't seen in a while.

v    The cookbook committee is moving along with the LIPO cookbook. They are still looking for some recipes. Email them to: mailto:[email protected].

v    The March contest is still going on....have a friend "like" LIPO's Facebook page. Don't forget to have them write you sent them on the wall. You or your friend could win a yummy case of Soy Revival Chips or Kays Naturals (quite delicious, I might add. We got free samples at the meeting) or five Chobani Yogurt coupons.

v    We have many upcoming activities around the corner. Remember to check them out at: http://www.facebook.com/LIPO.Nation?sk=events You can also find all about our 2nd Annual Dinner Dance and our fun Midnight Bowling Fundraiser at that link.

v    We are so excited that OH is holding a conference this year right around the corner in Hauppauge! (http://www.obesityhelp.com/events/2011-nyc-event.html) Better get you tickets fast, because the venue is on the smaller side, and it's expected to sell out. Remember to use the code: RuggieroNY11 to save $30 and get some free gifts!!

v    We enjoyed the "Comedy Stylings of Loretta" and had some laughs over a stinky subject. (You better ask someone who was there to explain that one!!!)

v    We had an incredible guest speaker, Jean Rafferty, LCSW-R, ACSW,MSW. She is a Clinical Social Worker that is also a 15 year post-op Gastric Bypass patient. I found it so awesome that she "gets it"! Her speech was informative, motivational and very supportive. She has a private practice, in case anyone is interested.
