new support idea

alright, how does this sound?  how bout we start a walking group, twice a week, one in am, and one in pm.  we can call it "red band society" haha, (just an idea) we can either put on a red elastic, ribbon or bracelet. meet at a designated place, ie: bates track: if we see each other or others with a red band we will know we are from WLS club.  we could type something up, buy a few red bands at the dollar store or Reed paper. and pass out at post op meeting to pass the word on. no need to sign up, or call if not showing up. certainly will and should do exercise on own, but would be a good support while we walk club...I"m available to do Tuesday Mornings at 8:00 am.... what do you all think of this idea.  I know many of you are not from Lewiston area, you could always do or meet in different areas of the state.

Great idea Cheryl!!!  I most likely won't be able to participate because of my work schedule ~ I've started walking on my lunch break though.  I'd love to have on of the ribbons or bands you choose though. 

I love the idea as well but unfortunately live to far away. How about if we decide on something to show our unity and walk with our symbol where ever we are. If any one asks what it means we could share the meaning of our symbol if you would be comfortable doing so. It would be cool to have T shirts made with a Maine OH symbol. What ya think??

yea, love the idea, but the red band would be cheaper and easier to get.  we could make some t shirts that say, ask about the red band tho??? then we could spread the word and not matter where we go, if we spot one we would know who we.. so we tell them.  "We are the Honkers, the HIgh and mighty Honkers... everywhere we gooooo,.... people want to know.... hehehehe   maybe Corinne could help us spread the word to pre op classes or at every class...

Cute idea!  I can do some looking for the red bands (I have a few that say "Red Sox Nation" on them...haha)  I can look on EBay too. I can do Tuesday mornings for the next few weeks!  Once I go back to work...all bets are off! (Cheryl, I posted a new picture just for you!  haha)

we still on for meeting on this Tuesday after my mamo?  it is at 8:30, don't usually take that long. how about 9:30-9:45 at Bates track, I might not be able to do as much as you, but will sit and watch you, haha...does that sound good?

I'll be there with protein drink in my hand! haha  You have my number, so if the weather is bad or you are late or early or whatever...give me a call!

red bands, great price !!!  http://www.orientaltrading.com/application?namespace=browse& origin=catalogProducts.jsp&event=link.itemDetails&demandPref ix=12&sku=24/1762&prodCatId=378300&mode=Browsing&erec=10&No= 16&sp=true&Ntk=all&Ntx=mode%252bmatchallpartial&cm_re=ED-_-J ewelry-_-F1L1&N=378300&tabId=Everyday&sd=Chinese+Character+B racelets

I agree!  Cool idea!  I want one! haha    What does everyone else think?  I can order them if you gals like them!  Maybe they can be here for Thursday evening?  Let me know!

what you think? do you think Corinne will agree and spread the word?  I say lets do it, i'll pay you Tuesday, if no one wants to do it, we won't reorder... we'll play it by ear,  I think it would be cool to go walking and see someone wiht a red bracelet, and we'd say "Heyyyyy, and it turns out ther'e supporting some other cause, hehe...
