Congratulations are in order for Melinda!

Despite Melinda being very upset today, she still went ahead with her training to be an OH Leader - it is what her aunt would have wanted her to do - and it is commendable that she would want to complete all of this...... I covered this in another post. So I am very pleased to announce a brand new OH Support Group Leader - Melinda!!  This is very exciting news for her and her current support group - it means she has access to all sorts of information that non leaders can't get  - plus access to supplier lists who will give free samples to OH Groups.   PLUS all her members will get their OH magazines free when they attend her meetings!! They  can also get into OH events at a reduced price!  Congratulations Melinda - I am very proud of you! You already have an awesome group - now you will get to add them to the OH Directory too! Please join me in congratulating her!  She could really use  good wishes right now... Well done Melinda! Jackie

Yay!!! I am a very proud member of Melinda's group. I started going to the group about 8 months before surgery and its such a great thing to be a part of. Melinda does a great job handing out info and getting us organized I am glad she will have some more support to help her along. WTG Melinda!! Keep your head up
