Support Groups and Weekly Coffee

Hi all,

I know that everyone mentions Saturday coffee get togethers and I have to honestly say that I have not quite figured out where they all are and how do you know what location, what date, what time, etc.?

Also, do any of you attend or know of any support groups that meet on Monday or Friday nights or on the weekends?  I attended (and really enjoyed) the one at HCMC yesterday, but I won't be able to attend that one after next month due to my schedule.

I really enjoy the support that I get here, but I need and want some face-to-face support as well and I really want to get in the habit of doing something (I have a hard time meeting people for the first time) before my fall schedule starts.

I appreciate any information!

I am excited and hopeful you get good responses. 

Two piggyback on that.  I am in Hugo, anyone up in these parts.

Coffees are Sat morning usually at 9 or 9:30 am  until whenever they end. They switch off. I know Maple Grove coffee is every other weekend but it's hard to say which weekends for sure. Best bet is to look for posts here and see who is going where.

At Park Nicollet, it's Wednesday nights unfortunately, so that might not work with yout schedule. It goes like this:

1st Wed (of every month): LapBand support group
2nd Wed: Topic support group -- such as nutrition, vitamins, etc. It may be a speaker as well as I understand
3rd Wed: For people 1+ years out from surgery (but others can come too if they really want as I understand)
4th Wed:  Open support group

West St Paul coffee is this weekend (1193 South Robert Street) at Caribou in Signal Hills.  It's the same weekend as the Burnsville coffee.  I don't know where Burnsville is held.
The Eagan coffee is the opposite Saturday's of the WSP coffee, so next weekend we'll meet at the Caribou Coffee in the Byerly's on Yankee Doodle Rd off of 35E.

Burnsville Coffee is at the Panera Bread in Burnsville Center, off county rd 42 and 35W.  We meet every other week-and tomorrow is our day!

Just wanted to add that the West St Paul coffee usually starts around 8:30 ish.....
