Melissa Mace NYC Metro PCOSA Chapter Leader PS - **Please note** If you would like to attend either just the movement workshop OR just the RoundTable Lunch, that is perfectly fine. Also, the other self care opportunities are available that day if you would like them, but they are not part of these 2 events. The time for the Movement Workshop is now 2-4pm. We had anticipated larger numbers of participation based on interest generated re:movement, fitness and the Luncheon which would have made it necessary to break us down into 2 or 3 small groups. To help with planning for future events, I would appreciate feedback from those who are not planning on attending-especially those who have come to the last few events and those who indicated an interest for this type of event. You can email me directly at: nycmetro@pcosupport.org Thank you!! Melissa MINNESOTA Please join the group in Rochester for an enjoyable evening. Our new Rochester chapter coordinator is Pat Wimmer, RN. She will be facilitating the meeting.

The women selected will lead our chapter though the next year, and it's important to share your vote. If you can't get way for the whole weekend, please consider joining us Saturday afternoon for lunch and the meeting. Registration forms and complete cost information will be available Feb. 1.
