Next PCOS Education and Support Group meeting August 7, 2013

Next PCOS Meeting

The PCOS Education and Support group meetings will resume on the 1st Wednesday of the month on August 7, 2013. We are taking June and July off because attendance drops off in the summer with kids being out of school, vacations and all of the other changes that summer brings. The meetings are at 6 p.m. at 515 S. 300 E. Suite 205. St. George, UT.

Our August meeting will be on "PCOS Basics" including a refresher on PCOS and instructions on the administration of B12 injections. I hope you have a great summer and we'll see you in August! If you are not receiving emails with reminders of the meeting, send us an email at pcossupport@hotmail.com or call our office (ask for Donna) to be added to the PCOS email list. Our phone number is (435) 674-0999.

PCOS Education and Support Group schedule change, next meeting Weds 2/06/13

The PCOS Education and Support Group has been going strong for a year now! Many people have reported a conflict with Tuesday evenings so we are going to change the meetings to the first Weds of the month this year (no January meeting, so the first meeting of 2013 will be on Weds. February 6, 2013). It will continue to be at the same time (6 p.m.) and location (Dr. Lunt & Kvarfordt's office waiting room--515 S 300 E Suite 205 St. George, UT). It is still free but a donations are accepted.

We need to recruit some help with the meetings to keep it going. This is a volunteer organization and a nice community offering that we would like to see continue. If you can donate time to help coordinate speakers, pick up refreshments, help with set up before the meetings or clean up after the meetings, etc. Please let me know. If there are any specific topics or speakers you'd like to hear from this year please email your suggestions to me. I would like to thank everyone who participated in the support group in 2012 and look forward to seeing more of you at the meetings in 2013. Happy New Year!

Thank you Kathy McKean

We would like to thank Kathy for speaking at the support group and sharing such valuable information with us on grief and coping with chronic illness. We had an amazing support group this evening! I really appreciate Jessie and Stacey for helping with refreshments and setting up. Stacy won a $20 Ulta gift card and Erika won a $5 Subway gift card in our free prize drawing.

Thanks,
