I don't know if they still give these away to attendees at OH events to give to pre-ops in need, but I saw stacks of them at the Texas event last year and picked up a sealed packet of them there.  I have handed them to people interested in WLS and have even left a couple subtly and anonymously near someone that looked to be really struggling with their weight and could use some silent encouragement.   

  If you have never seen t\hem, the cards are blue, black and white heavy-duty business cards (they feel somewhat plastic) and have hte following printed on one side:

    ObesityHelp.com   .    Meet supportive peers who understand!

     Discrimination * Weight Loss Surgery   Relationship Issues * Fashion & Shopping Tips * Recipes *  Exercise & Diet  *  Life Transformation

     We're here to help!

     Visit us online or phone toll-free, 1-866-297-4964


   On the flip side it reads:


    We could use your help!

     www.ObesityHelp.com

    We're seeking individuals to join our peer support community.  We have nearly 400,000 members across the country.  Many of us have lost over 100 pounds.  We have come together to help each other take charge and to celebrate a new chance in life.

     Please share this card with a friend!


   Hopefully OH still distributes these cards at the events (anyone know?)    Do they need to be updated in any way, esp. as to membership #s?      (errr ..  is the phone # still valid?   )

    If you see these cards at an event, please pick some up and help pay it forward ..

I know you used to be able to print your own cards to give out inviting people.  I think you can still do that.

I don't recruit for OH and I don't believe in putting money in their pocket.  by using their sponsors

I do believe in supporting all who come to the site.

Have to say that I agree with you Snick.  I sort have recruited people by telling them how much support I have gotten from everyone here.
