Hello,

I have some idea's that I would like to share with you all. First what do you think about us setting up a photo shoot...like a glamour shot session? Second I was thinking that we need to put together a meet and greet for the NC OH memebers. Its nice to chat online, but wouldn't it be nice to put faces with people we chat with? Finally I want us to brain storm about what we can do to raise fund for the Walk From Obesity that is going to be in Sept 09? I know we are small group, but I know we can do great things together as a team!!!!

Thanks,

Velda
Ps I am going home to Syracuse for the first time since I lost my mother in Dec 07. Please keep me in your prayers!!!!!

A meet and greet would be awesome!  Glamour shots...maybe for you lovely ladies...I might have to pass on that one!  There's just something about glamour shots and dudes that just doesn't fit!   Have a great time in Syracuse!

Ok Bradon maybe you are right about the photos, but I was thinking more so before and after. It would be a gauge to see where you have come from!!! Well I think we need to come with a idea or theme for the meet and greet....Can you tell I'm excited about this idea?

Haha!  I know what you mean. I was just teasing. I know a good photographer if anyone is interested.  She took some before pictures of me.  She's also done a lot of pictures of our son, including the ones on my avatar.  I can tell you're excited!  I'm looking forward to it myself!  I've got some friends who have had WLS...I'll try to get them involved on this site and in this group! 

Thanks Brandon that would be wonderful getting your friends involved with HBWL4Life.  Ok I am doing a little dance right now...and here it is I bet you like that fancy foot work...LOL

Would love to get together. My surgery isn't until May 19th, so, I'd like to wait before I have any glamour shots, but can cheer you guys on. I'd love to help w/the walk, my husband is a great coach and fund raising mentor for Leukemia and Lymphoma, I'll pick his brain. Have a safe trip, I know you will cherish all the memories of being back.

Well Ms Susan congrats on having a surgery date...WOO HOO!!! That would be wonderful if you could pick your hubby's brain...we need all the help we can get. I really want us to make an impact in NC last year walk was good. However I would love to see tons more people be a part. I'm up for the challenge.  To be honest I'm a little nervous about going home...but I know its something I must do. I haven't seen my brother or sister whom I miss very much.


Thanks,
Velda

That sounds great I would like that.I believe keeping intouch and having events help some people stay focus and work hard so people can see the difference in their success after each event or help with question and conerns.  

I have a really neat idea about how we can do it. When I return I hope we all can meet up and put somethings down on paper.  You are right Mr James it does help one to stay focused.... By the way how are you  doing today??

Ms Vee

Count me in Ms Velda.  Just let me know what you need me to do.  What date is the walk?  If all goes as planned, I should be having my surgery the end of August or the beginning of September.  Hope I won't miss out, but even if I can't participate this time, I will be more than happy to help the group raise money for the walk.  Meet and greet sounds wonderful being the social butterfly that I am!!! LOL
