Have any of you seen the new issue of TOPS News? Personally, I think it's about time they allowed people to join on-line. I also think they explain the rules of on-line membership very well. If a person who joined on-line decides to look into joining a chapter near where he or she lives or works, the weight they lost or gained won't count. Their weight at their first chapter meeting will be the one recognized by headquarters as their starting weight. I personally see this as a positive thing because it will get people interested and maybe they will think about joining a chapter.

We recieved paperwork on the new online joining. It will make it easier to join but in order to get the full benefit people do need to seek out a local chapter.
Make sure if anyone joins on line to bring your voucher that they e-mail you to your first meeting.
I am for anything that will lead people to TOPS
