We need speakers at our meetings. How do we arrange this?

Who pays for all of these speakers and assorted professionals to come in to speak to you guys? They don't do this for free do they? Some of you seem to belong to very well orgainzed, deluxe support groups. Do you pay a fee to keep them this way? I would love to have these kind of knowledgeable ppl come to speak to our little group. How does one approach a medical professional to come and speak? Wls is not big business here in Canada and someone volunteers in each town or city to create an informal support group no matter what kind of wls or who the surgeon is. It is basically info exchange between postops and preops. I would like to have more, like many American support groups have. Any advice for me? mary ann taylor, postop, aug7/03 302/242
