End-of-Season Meeting, Ice Cream Social, and Election in June!
Please join us on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, for the last meeting prior to our summer break. Rather than our normal meeting with a speaker, this month we will be holding an Ice Cream Social: (Jen is bringing the ice cream, everyone else brings toppings) AND Elections will be held for President, Vice President, and Secretary.

Check out the new Newsletter Layout!
Thanks to Jen Higdon, the online newsletter layout has been reworked so that as you read it, the pages appear in correct numerical order (i.e. you'll see pages 2 and 3, then 4 and 5, etc. Prior issues were being delivered in the form to be printed and mailed, but it made it hard to read the newsletter online. Jen is now creating two versions, one for print, and one that is easy to read online.

Welcome to 2009!
Well, it's cold outside, but we keep the meeting room warm, so join us for one of our monthly meetings. Our vendor night is coming up on March 3rd, so that would be a great meeting to join us for the first time, or the first time in a while! Of course all our regulars are welcome as well. See ya then!

Summer Break is Over, Back to the Fun!
Our summer break is over, and our next meeting is Tuesday September 2. That's right, the day after Labor Day, so don’t let it sneak up on you. We have a great discussion meeting planned. Read the latest issue of the newsletter for more information.

Contact Request Form Fixed!
We had a problem with our contact request form earlier in the year, and I thought I had fixed it, but I was wrong. As of today (August 29,2008) it is once again working. If you tried to send a contact request and received an error, please try it again.
I would like to apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

About Us

The Triangle Ostomy Association is a volunteer organization composed primarily of ostomates with the purpose of supplementing the work of the surgeon by offering mutual aid and moral support through people who have learned to live with an ostomy. Trained members visit ostomy patients in hospitals and at their homes upon request and with consent of the patient's physician.

We publish a monthly newsletter and hold monthly meetings. We hope you will attend our monthly program to support our speakers and to become acquainted with our other members and to share your experiences as an ostomate. You do not have to be a member to attend - all are welcome.
