west LA gal 0 Posted February 15, 2010 I live 5 minutes away from the Denny's in Culver City. If anyone is serious about meeting I am game for a meet and greet starting this coming Saturday 2/21/2010 at 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM. If you plan on attending please RSVP me at truecolors20@yahoo.com I really want to proactively take the lead here and get a support group going in Los Angeles and meet every week to discuss a particular topic related to the band. I figure the first meeting we can introduce ourselves and discuss our decisions for being banded, when we were banded, where we were/will be banded, what type of band we have and our journies thus far.

FrogStar24 0 Posted July 19, 2010 I seem to be very late to this thread, but after being banded 11/2008 I'm realizing now that I need some support. If any of you are still out there and reading this, I'd love to do a meetup. I live in the Valley, but am amenable to driving over the hill. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

babyk 1 Posted September 20, 2010 are there any support groups in the LA area that any one knows of? The Marina and Beach cities are ideal but I am willing to travel to other parts of LA if needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
