Let The Dear Thyroid Meet Ups – Tweet Ups Games Begin!
UPDATES ARE IN BURGANDY: We’ve added two more cities for MEET UPS. AND, AND, AND, our FIRST MEET UP has been calendared (click the event and you’ll see a pop up with the details) for November 19th in PEMBROKE, MA, hosted by LORI. Care to join?
As a follow up post to this morning’s, Care to Host a Dear Thyroid Tweet-Up? I am proud to say that our community has rallied beautifully and I hope to see more meet up requests for coffee, a nosh, a cocktail or whatever you wish!
The goal is for us to feel supported online, and offline locally.
Once we have all the details, we’ll get it calendared on the official Dear Thyroid Calendar. Additionally, we’ll help you organize and schedule your meet ups.
We are so excited about this. Collectively, we’ve created a wonderful online community to cheer each other on, make each other laugh and catch each other when we fall. Let’s move this story offline, too. I know we can do it. I feel it in my bones, Thyrellas and Thyfellas. Are you feeling me?!
So far, here is the dish I have for you:
- Boston — Two dames
- Central Mass — One dame
- Raleigh — Two dames
- Orcas Islands– One dame
- Chicago- Five dames
- Minneapolis– One dame
- South Florida — One dame
- Washington DC — One dame
- Darien, Il. — One dame
- New Jersey — One dame
- San Jose, CA — One dame
- Asheville, NC — One dame
- Rhode Island — One dame
- Alberta Canada, (Three Hills)– One dame
- Marin County, CA — One dame
- Gilbert, Arizona (tri-city area Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe. Outside of Phoenix) — One dame

- Indianapolis — One dame

Whoever is interested in meeting up, please email me (katie@dearthyroid.com), and provide me with your email address and location. I’ll make sure you get connected with people in your area.
Here’s what we’re asking for because we want everyone to feel included, please take pictures and share your experience with us. We’ll post everything right here on Dear Thyroid. If you happen to be in your Dear Thyroid gear (t-shirt, sweatshirt, or tank top), that would be dandy, too.
Let’s make this happen and keep it going!
Love,
Us

Hi Gina; We are trying to get one scheduled.
All, we’ve added you to the list (thanks). We want to get local Dear Thyroid support groups going in July again. We have a community manager joining us for this purpose. She’s awesome! I’ll make sure she gets in touch with everyone.
