Hello,

My name is Silver, and I'm writing from Think Out Loud, Oregon Public

Broadcasting's daily talk show.

For an upcoming show, we're going to be talking about obesity in Oregon -

specifically on the physical, social and emotional impact that it has on

people who are obese. The conversation will not be focused on broad

generalizations or theories, but instead will look at the stories and

experiences of individuals who are obese.

I'm wondering if you could help connect us with people involved with Pacific

NorthWest Bandsters, preferably by forwarding this email out to the

listserv. We're trying to connect directly with people who are obese or

have been obese, to ask them about their experiences.

We've created an online space where people can share their experiences and

stories with us:

http://news.opb.org/link/obesity

We'll be using the responses to help guide our coverage of this issue, and a

producer may send them a follow up email or give them a call. As well,

people who respond will become a part of OPB's Public Insight Network, our

network of news sources. We will hang on to their contact information, and

ask them to contribute their experiences periodically for news stories we're

working on.

Thanks for your help, and please give me a call if you have any questions or

concerns. I'd be happy to address them.

Silver
