I'm a member of my local UOAA and I signed up to do refreshments for this coming April meeting. I wanted to do something fun and ostomy related. We have members of all kinds of ostomies and ages. The group is majority older people 60yr+, there are a few of us youngins there. I'm pretty sure I'm the youngest at 29. I was wondering if anyone here had any fun ideas? Like brownies in the shape of a bag or lemonade for a drink.

I'm going to be really bad here......get small treat bags and gather the bottoms of each with a rubber band and put tootsie rolls and/or peanuts in em. OR...little pocket packs of Kleenex or wipes from the $.99 bins at Walmart!!!!!! That is so wrong of me! But the sad thing is I'm laughing as I write this

Your brownies are a good idea, be careful with the lemonade though some people especially us urostomy have to be careful of the acid content. But, You can make a banana bread that is always a hit. Good luck.

I think I might do the brownies maybe put them in the bags like skidder said. That would be fun. No one does ostomy themed snacks so it should be a nice treat. If people are too offput by the output shaped food then heck bonus is I have more brownies for me! If I brought the lemonade I would bring other drinks as well just to have a selections, plus I don't really care for lemonade myself. I could just do bottled water and crystal light packs so if they want it they can make it themselves. Will see I have about a week left to figure it all out. Thanks for the replies!
