Chatterbox

My name is Joel Sopp from Regina, SK. I am 6'3 and 437 lbs with a BMI of 54.6.

I am currently on the Board of Directors for the Saskatchewan Bariatric Surgery Support Group (www.sbssg.ca) and we are a Non-Profit WLS Support Group.

We have our Annual General Meeting coming up, which will take place at The Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, 1800 Prince of Wales Drive in Regina, and we have a speaker coming out. Allison Kapp, the Nutritionist from the new Bariatric Clinic, will provide a presentation approximately 20 minutes in length followed by a 10?15 minute question and answer period for members of the SBSSG present at our Annual General Meeting. The presentation will begin at 2:40 pm.

Please go to the website and under AGM you can read a letter from the President of the SBSSG for prospective Board Members and/or Committee Chairs, An Information Kit for those interested in applying for a position on the board or a chair position, as well as a recruitment poster, nomination form, membership form and membership benefits.

It pays to be a paid member!

Feel free to e-mail hildahnke@sasktel.net (Current SBSSG President) or bkpromotions@sasktel.net (2007-2008 Communications Director) if you have questions about the SBSSG or the May 31st AGM. They will respond as soon as they can.

Take care and hope to see you at the AGM.

Joel Sopp
