Hi all you tri-state area BP friends. Please see below. I hope to see you on Saturday!

The next NYC/LI chapter F2F Support Group Meeting is going to be on October 17th from 2PM till 4 PM

We will be meeting at The Atrium at 805 Third Avenue.

The building is on Third Ave between 49th and 50th Streets.

The Atrium is at the back of the space on the lower level past the shops.

We are looking forward to seeing many of our forum friends there for a fun filled afternoon. We hope to share a bit of information, education, and ultimately support with our friends!!!

So mark your calendars today forum friends and make plans to spend a beautiful Autumn afternoon in NYC.

If any Jersey friends want to attend, please feel free to cross the Hudson and join us.

*Thanks to Laurie for reminding me that the AVON WALK for breast cancer is this weekend so please leave yourself some extra time to get around town if you are coming in for the meeting.

This will be my first NYC/LI Chapter meeting. Looking forward to meeting members and to seeing Liz GoWalking again. I had the pleasure of meeting her at the last clothing exchange.*

P.S. on the Avon Walk. The street closings to accommodate the Walk route mainly will affect people navigating Manhattan's surface on wheels -- buses, taxis, bikes and the like.

* Here I go again. If you don't know about the exchange, it's fun, free and five and a half years old. Click the link for details on the next event, Thursday, October 22 in midtown.

Hi everyone - I had hoped to make it but probably won't get there in time. Hope to see you all at the next one!

I had a great time at my first NYC/LI meeting. Being able to connect on line is valuable, but sitting down from time to time with people with whom I share a significant experience is invaluable. Maybe if I hadn't been a chicken Little about the Avon Walk, more people would have come. Navigating the streets was easy as the proverbial pie. In fact the streets were even better than usual because of all the pink-clad and costumed, festive people taking part in the Walk.

Support meetings like this, to me, can accomplish so much. They are a forum for comparing experiences, whether good or not so good or downright bad, sharing discoveries and doing some creative problem-solving. These sessions work for people, uh, like me, who a re having a rough time and for those who are good shape and want to stay that way.

I'm glad I made it in. Looking forward to the next.

Laurie
