Thought it would be nice to find out about local bandster bonding. I am in Bremerton but am willing to travel to Tacoma or Olympia on occasion. Even if we just got together for coffee (or tea)... Structured support groups are nice, but are they FUN?

Please chime in and share what you do to stay connected.

Apparently you have the same problem as in my area - I found out about a support group - and posted it (I live in Arlington) but I got no replies online....I'm with you in spirit! I think getting together is a great way to stay connecting, have fun, meet new people and support each other in our common journey.

Found a few locals (7) in and around Bremerton. We met yesterday and set the next meeting for September 17th at the Kitsap Mall food court - 1pm.

I am meeting with one or two bandsters tomorrow (Tuesday) at Lion's Field, a small park in Bremerton off Sheridan rd. at 2:30.

It would be great to find more! Please come out! Email if you need directions.

Check yahoo groups, I found PNW_Bandsters there. I am trying to swing some folks to LBT since I don't really like Yahoo, but it would be a good place to network with locals if Silverdale/Bremerton is too far.

See you, Brenda

Wilma I am also in Bremerton I have not been banded yet but I am making plans. I really would like to talk to you as this is all new to me. I am planning to go to Mexico to get it done as I have to self pay We have Group Health insurance and they will not pay for banding. Please write back and tell me where you go for fills and how you are doing.

Wilma,

We need to schedule a get together! The mall was OK it was only three of us. If we can get Donna in on it, we could get together anytime that works for you guys.

Will PM the both of you, Brenda
