Welcome to Ostomy Connection of Charlotte, NC.
We are a local support group for people that have colostomies, ileostomies or urostomies. Our
purpose is to provide encouragement, information and support that will enable you to return to a
normal healthy lifestyle following ostomy surgery.
We meet several times a year and invite a guest speaker who provides useful information on
various topics.
Our next meeting will be held on June 16th 2009, 7PM at Presbyterian Hospital in Matthews.
The topic will be "Stress Management." Please join us to find out how to "De-Stress."
We are planning to visit Rocky River Vineyards on Friday July 31. We will enjoy a band in the
open air pavilion, wine , appetizers and dancing. All of this for only $20. Please contact Carla
Mellon for further information.
We would like to welcome Janet Cline to our Board of Directors. We are looking forward to
working with her to continue serving the ostomy community.

your medical condition. Dues are $15 for a 12 month membership, it includes Bi-monthly New
Life newsletter. Please e-mail us to become a member and start receiving newsletters.
