Eggface's 5 Year Anniversary Giveaway - Prize 5

June is a BIG month in my world. 5 years ago (June 20th 2006) I made the best decision of my life, to have weight loss surgery.

5 years ago I started this blog The World According to Eggface for my friends and family to follow the amazing life changing journey I was embarking on.

Oh and there might be a 40th birthday this month (June 28th) too. 40 years!? Eeek. It wasn't so bad and I can't really complain... I feel better at 40 than I did on my 30th birthday, heck I feel better than my 20th birthday.


Protein Ice Cream Birthday Cake

In honor of these BIG events in my world I'll be giving away 5 super cool prizes throughout the month as my way of saying THANK YOU for taking this incredible journey with me. I am blessed to have crossed life paths with all of you fellow fighters of the battle against obesity. Thank you for being there for me this past 5 years!

Speaking of fellow fighters. The final prize in my 5 year celebration is not as snazzy as an ice cream maker or tasty as a tub of protein but I think it's the best prize of the month...

Prize 5: A 1-Year Individual Membership in the (OAC) Obesity Action Coalition (If you are already a member I'll renew you for another year)

The OAC is a national non profit organization dedicated to giving a voice to those affected by obesity through education, support & advocacy. OAC Membership is the most important way you can make a difference in the cause of obesity. The greater the coalition's membership, the stronger our voice on issues. When you walk into a legislator's office to ask them to support a cause, numbers speak. Membership in the OAC makes our voice louder.

What you will receive with your membership:

A welcome letter & membership card (new members)
1 year subscription to Your Weight Matters Magazine OAC's Quarterly Publication
Subscription to the OAC's monthly e-newsletter
Periodic member alerts informing you of issues that need action/attention
Representation in advocacy issues, a voice for ourselves and those we love who are affected by obesity.

If you haven't checked out the Obesity Action Coalition and all they do hit their website and poke around. It's an AWESOME resource. Want to join? Click here.

For those of you in the Southern California area (Los Angeles, Orange County, Inland Empire, San Diego, and surrounding areas) I'd like to invite you to a little get-together...

Southern California Weight Loss Surgery Meet & Greet
Saturday, July 30th, 2011
12:30 PM to 3 PM
at the Harveston Center (a brand new beautiful community building) on Harveston Lake in the City of Temecula, CA


Harveston Center
40135 Village Road
Temecula, CA 92591

A casual, get-together for all those in Southern California who have had, are having, are thinking about having weight loss surgery. All surgery types are welcome! Come hang out make new friends.

Light weight loss surgery friendly refreshments will be served.
They'll be super cool prizes galore and oodles of samples and freebies.

Please RSVP (so I can kind of get a count for refreshments and freebies) on the Facebook Page I created for the event (if you aren't on Facebook just comment on this blog entry or email me.)

Hmmm some random stuff...

The lake has some great walking trails (you can walk completely around it on a paved path), tons of nature (ducks, swans, egrets, turtles), paddleboat rentals (fee is $15/30 minutes for 4 people.) We will have seating for 50 in the Harveston Center's Multipurpose Room but if you want to go outside and have a picnic or sit by the lake you would need to bring some lawn chairs or a blanket, there are a few picnic tables. There's tons of free parking (a lot on either side of the lake, one right next to the Harveston Center), handicap accessible, restrooms, we will have a protein exchange so if you have opened or unopened protein powder tubs you no longer want, bring 'em... the whole one man's trash is another's treasure idea. Sorry no clothing exchange this time out.
