Santa Barbara/Tri-County Support Group NEWS!

[Guest guest]

The first meeting of the Santa Barbara, CA, CMT support group was off to a

running start June 28 attended by representatives of four Southern California

counties. Under very sunny skies (read here, 90 F hot!) but shaded by patio

umbrellas, group members enjoyed a delicious healthy brunch while discussing

everything from traveling, to successful surgeries, work/careers and personal

stories. Denedria Banks joined the " brunch bunch " and shared about her new

ventures in addition to speaking about her book and autographed copies. There

was also discussion of having a CMT conference in Solvang in the future, spread

out over 3 days to allow " face to face " socializing in addition to listening and

interacting with world renown speakers. A great bonding took place, many photos

and a short video were taken of the gathering.

Phone numbers and emails were collected and will be sent so members can keep in

touch between meetings. It was a wonderful afternoon, nice people, great food,

no earthquakes or fires!

The next meeting is for the Saturday August 8. We will meet inside

(air-conditioning definitely required!) for a 1:00 pm lunch at the Alisal River

Grill in Solvang.

Anyone with CMT, their family, friends/partners/significant others are welcome.
