Thanks to everyone who stopped in for our “Coffee and Connections” event at Midnight Express Cafe. We saw friends old & new, and topped off two hours of good conversation with this photo at the Blue Bridge.

Hi friends (especially tennis friends :). I just cleared out these items from a storage shed, left over from Match Play for MiEDA, our past tennis tournament fund raisers. We do not plan to host this event again, sadly, due mostly to the lack of indoor tennis facilities here in West Michigan. So I need to dispose of these items, and I'm offering them to anyone who sees this post. I have about 45 shirts, mostly in M & L with a few S and XL mixed in; 30 blue beverage cups; and 34 glass mugs. If there are no takers I'll post to FB marketplace next. Last resort, Goodwill or Dibs. Pickup from Jeff or I. Thanks!

Today is Advocacy Day for the Eating Disorders Coalition. 125 advocates are in Washington meeting with their US Representatives & Senators asking them to support two important pieces of legislation.

The Nutrition Care Act (H.R. 6961/S. 3010) would fix a gap in Medicare Part B coverage, which excludes individuals with eating disorders from receiving an essential component of eating disorders treatment - medical nutrition therapy.

The Kids Online Safety Act (H.R. 7891/S.1409) is a comprehensive social media platform accountability bill that seeks to address specific harms posed by platform algorithms.
