Hi All,
I have found that there are not many support groups in PA that meet at least once a month. I would like to start a support group and would like to know if there is anyone out there interested in joining. I want to make sure there is a need and if there would be people who would like to attend.
The meetings would be a minimum of once a month. We could have outings, fishing, shopping, etc. This would not be just a gathering once a month and then going home. We would get connected with others as well as with our families. This is not a dating service, but if you were to meet someone at the grouping, that would be great. Families would be welcome at the outings if you wish.
This would be a great way to meet others without the scary part of meeting one-on-one. If you live in area states, you would definitely be welcome to attend. It is open to anyone.
Let me know what you think!

3 Steps Every Ostomate Should Take
1. Join MeetAnOstoMate.org to connect with others who truly understand.
2. Register on manufacturer websites for free samples and product news.
3. Sign up with your local or national ostomy association for expert support.
That would be cool. Let me know when you want to meet. Have you gone on your vacation?
Blessings

Hey Peg, I go next Wednesday and will be gone for a week. My dad is having bladder surgery on August 5th, but any other Friday I am available. Check your schedule and let me know when you are free. :) Until then, take care of yourself.

Getting Support in the Ostomy Community with LeeAnne Hayden | Hollister
Peg, although it is a well-meant, seemingly no-brainer thing to do, pulling a support group together takes maximum effort. First and foremost are the geographical challenges; it would be wonderful if everyone lived close. If you're serious, give it your all and I will try to help. Otherwise, to everyone, I cannot recommend enough that you attend the UOAA National Conferences.
