NEED SUPPORT IN MICHIGAN???

If you are looking for informal support, you've found it! Where we meet varies meeting to meeting. Some people offer up their living rooms, sometimes we meet at a resturant (location varies... I try to do it all over the place so people can come where and when they can!), and I'm working on a nation-wide grocery store (Trader Joes) to see if they will sponsor a meeting... and give us free taste tests on their products! It's a win-win situation when it comes to us wls patients!! No one will ever be required to purchase anything, and I DON"T have anything to sell. The meetings are typically just a good chat with a smallgroup of people who want to share experiences, information, hints, tips, recipies, etc. Anyone is welcome, whether they say anything or not. If you want to bring a product to share, only bring enough for a small bite, drink for everyone... I guesstimate about 10 bites. That's only two Detour bars, if that gives you any idea. Always bring paper and pen!! If you have a drink to share, wait until we are in someone's home. That way, we don't tick off the resturant owners! :~) Also, if you have a good receipe, bring a few copies of it to pass around. If you are real energetic, bring a sample! I like keeping it this informal because I don't have time to do it on a regular basis. I want to be able to be free to do what I want, when I want. If people can make it, great, if they can't, maybe next time!! I keep people updated and give them at least two weeks notice about the meeting with one follow-up email reminder. If you email me, I will put you on my list, and if you ever want off of it, just email me and put unsubscribe wls in the subject line! I DO NOT share my email list with ANYONE for ANY reason. I value my privacy and know you value yours. I am seriously thinking about getting in touch with some people in Frankenmuth to find out about a cheese and sausage meeting! What do you think? Are you interested? There are stores everywhere who will sponsor meetings like this... especially if it means they might get some sales and/or valued customers! :~) Aren't I the little sales person!!! lol!! If you have an idea for a meeting, let me know! I'm into doing legwork, so... if I don't have time to do it, I'll let you know in return, okay! :~) Please remember: I do this freely with your understanding that I am not a doctor, nutritionist, or other medical person, nor am I lawyer, policeman, or general con-man. I enjoy meeting people like me and love to share my experiences with others, and hear about theirs! :~) Hugs!! If you want to be on my list, just email me! I'll see you soon! If you don't, that's cool, too! I wish you much health and happiness in your endevor to become the best you can be! :~)
