Title: PA-NJ OUCH Chapter (Topic Moved) Post by ozzman on Aug 25th, 2003, 9:35am This topic has moved here http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=meetings Well, fellow PA-NJ CHrs. The rumor that a PA-NJ OUCH chapter is now open is true. As an integral part of OUCH (mother OUCH as I call it) we want to reach out to all of you around us (geographically), we want to serve you better with support and understanding. Meeting a fellow clusterhead in person is an incredible feeling that hits your soul very deeply. Imagine what is like to meet 2 or 3 or 10 together, well you get the point. We at PA-NJ OUCH would also like to further OUCH's mission to help our local communities to understand Cluster Headaches and therefore receive better care from our Medical Community. Finally, I would like to thank, Randy(Mr_Happy), Steve (Eyes_Afire) and Joe (pigeon) for deciding to jump in the deep end with me and get this thing started. And OUCH of course, for leading the way. Now, what does this all mean? For starters, we will hold our first official meeting and celebrate the birth of the chapter at my house (Southern NJ). We will have a BBQ and even Oxygen!! Everyone is invited to come, however due to geographical limitations and to make this feasible in the future, we would like to keep the boundaries of this chapter to within an hour or two drive for everyone involved. This is a great opportunity to see and feel how a chapter is formed, what is involved and hopefully starting your own chapter in your neck of the woods. The date is set for : September 27 or 28 For directions or more info write me at: o_valdivieso@hotmail.com Ozzy |

Title: Re: PA-NJ OUCH Chapter Post by CryingInPain on Aug 25th, 2003, 11:10am I am new to this board but this is amazing to me! I have been reading and reading and looking for places even SOMEWHAT close to home and now I have found it! I am in Pa unfortunatly on the OTHER side of the state, but would be more then willing to drive the 4 hours to get to NJ to meet someone that knows what I am dealing with! I have family in the Philly Suburbs area that I visit quite often so the drive is nothing for me! ~Hugs~ Jen |

Title: Re: PA-NJ OUCH Chapter Post by suzy617 on Aug 25th, 2003, 4:56pm Now Linda, why would you say that about Mr. Happy? Would it be because of all those electric wires on his body and his hand in his pocket zapping God knows where? ;D suzy btw, how is my little bar rag buddy? ;D |

Title: Re: PA-NJ OUCH Chapter Post by Linda_Howell on Aug 25th, 2003, 9:40pm It has nothing what-so-ever to do with his zappers. lol It does have something to do with the fact that I have never met anyone like him in my life. The old hippy. I'm doing O.K. Susie, but no more dirty bar rags for me. Thanks for asking. Linda |

Title: Re: PA-NJ OUCH Chapter Post by ozzman on Aug 27th, 2003, 9:02am Mast, He doesn't log on much, but he's around. Joe is cool. Now for the rest of you slackers, c'mon make plans come see beatiful AC. If you don't like gambling, there are great shows every night! As for our kickoff meeting, we may even have a couple of honorary guests presents. As soon as I get confirmation, I will inform everyone. This is the time to stop whining that: * Nobody cares * Nobody does anything for CH * I'm all alone in my town * The rest of the population doesn't have a clue * My doctor doesn't care We will DO!! Stop wallowing in your self pity and lets get something done! Ozzy |

Although we're primarily looking for people within a 75 mile radius of Philadelphia (enables us to drive, meet, and drive home same day), you can STILL be part of this action packed adventure team! Reserve a virtual seat today. There should be plenty to do........and much of it only a mouse click away. Special guest appearance by Blind Mellon Chittlin: Vote "Yay", not "Nay", RJ |

Title: Re: PA-NJ OUCH Chapter Post by ozzman on Sep 4th, 2003, 7:55am So far it looks like it is definitely on the 27th and we are shooting for noon. We will email all interested parties an agenda in the upcoming weeks. If the word agenda caught your attention, good! Just a reminder, this will be a working meeting first and a get together second. Doesn't mean it won't be fun though. Ozzy |

Title: Re: PA-NJ OUCH Chapter Post by Mr.Happy on Sep 8th, 2003, 10:11am If you're going to be in this neck of the woods on the 27th, by ALL MEANS, drop the Ozzman (o_valdivieso@hotmail.com) a note. The head count at this point stands at (possibly) "12" (let's double that, eh?), along with 3 potential guest speakers/visiting dignitaries. Everyone attending will leave with an info packet, an assignment, and a smile. Free grub, too...... RJ |
