DEAR FRIEND,

THANK YOU FOR EXPRESSING AN INTEREST IN NAAFA. A LOCAL CHAPTER HAS BEEN FORMED TO SERVICE THE OKLAHOMA AREA. "THE OKLAHOMA CHAPTER OF NAAFA HAS BEEN SERVING THE AREA FOR A LITTLE OVER EIGHT YEARS.

IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE FUNCTIONS OF A CHAPTER WITHIN NAAFA, I'LL BRIEFLY EXPLAIN. THE CHAPTER PROVIDES MEMBERS AND OTHERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT ON A LOCAL LEVEL IN THEIR AREAS OF INTEREST WITHIN THE SIZE DISCRIMINATION MOVEMENT.

SOME PEOPLE ATTEND CHAPTER FUNCTIONS TO MEET NEW FRIENDS. OTHERS ATTEND DISCUSSIONS GROUPS TO TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES AS A FAT PERSON OR "FAT ADMIRER" (THOSE WHO PREFER A ROMANTIC PARTNER WITH A FULL FIGURE).

MANY JOIN NAAFA AND THE LOCAL CHAPTER TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO TO HELP END SIZE DISCRIMINATION. MANY CHAPTERS ORGANIZE LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGNS, AND OTHER TYPES OF ACTIVISM EVENTS.

MANY JOIN NAAFA TO EXPERIENCE FEELINGS OF CAMARADERIE, AN INCREASE IN SELF ESTEEM, AND DISCOVER HOW TO LIVE A FULLER, HAPPIER LIFE IN A FAT-OPPRESSED SOCIETY.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED OF UPCOMING EVENTS. PLEASE E-MAIL US AT THE ADDRESS BELOW AND WE WILL ADD YOU TO OUR DISTRIBUTION LIST. WE HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU ---- WE'D LOVE YOUR SUPPORT.

SINCERELY,

K. Cox

Chairperson

OKLAHOMA CHAPTER OF NAAFA
