November 18 Chapter Meeting – Celebrate the Upcoming Holiday Season!

Events, Meetings, News, Steering Committee

Thanksgiving

Our November meeting is fast approaching! Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, our next meeting will be this coming Saturday, November 18. This meeting will be our annual rap session to talk about tips and tricks to manage the stress of the holiday season. Getting fellow friends and family to understand the challenges we face and struggle with can be a daunting experience. We are all here together to help so come and join us to get your holiday season off to a great start!

Potluck!
This meeting is also about ignoring your diet and bringing something to share with others for our potluck! We’ll start a Yahoo Groups thread to track who is bringing what so start thinking what you would like to bring. We plan to keep the breakfast treats light so we all have a good appetite for later.
Holiday Party – Host?
Care to open your house to HLAA-LA chapter for our annual holiday party?  We PROMISE we won’t trash it or set fire to your dog.  Really. If you would like to host this year’s soiree on Saturday December 2nd or 9th, please contact Heather directly at heatherlehr626@gmail.com or contact us via our Contact Us form.
Steering Committee
ALSO — We are looking for an intelligent, hard-working, super fun, and fabulous person to join the steering committee!!
Lisa’s departure has left a hole in our governance (and our hearts) that needs filling.  If you are interested in becoming a member, please find a steering committee
member and let them know of your interest during the November meeting. Or, email Heather at the address above or our Contact Us form.
And Finally…
With Ken and Lisa no longer with us, we’ll need some extra help setting up the loop, posting HLAA directional signs and greeting those from the parking garage to ensure they are heading in the right direction. If you can, please come at 9:30am.
