Happy August.. I know it's almost half way over!! School is getting ready to start again and the fairs are amongst us! Which brings me to the first matter of happenings..
Support Group is Thursday the 26th at 6:00 pm in the clinic. We are going to try our best to hold it outside-- and escape the sprinklers! This month is going to be a fair-like event! It would be great if you bring a sample of something that shows off one of your skills to "enter into our fair"! But ummm sorry... no animals! Lesley doesn't do well with those! ;) Please pass this info around to anyone you may talk to.. especially note the time change!
Next......
We have changed our monthly informational seminars to the first Thursday of the month at 6:00 pm in the Cancer Center rather than holding them on Saturdays. The response has been good so far! Let anyone who you think may be interested know. Also if you would like to come and be a special guest to share your experience at a seminar let us know... we would love to have your input!
And last but definitely not least...
Many of you have been in recently and noticed that there have been some new faces and others missing! As much as we hate to see anyone go we realize that there must be bigger and better adventures to be had in other spaces!
Carolyn took employment at a different facility so Paula and Didi are now co-coordinators of the New U program! Way to go girls-- you are doing awesome!
Paula is sharing her adjustment top notch skills now! Didi and Terri are RNs which have worked on 3rd floor for many years (and still do) and are now helping out here in the clinic! YAY!
Our wonderful Eric is still here to encourage and help you get the most out of the good weather we have right now (can't it stay forever?! PLEASE!!) and to keep you going when it gets nasty! He's here for ya!
Just one more to introduce to you... promise! Kristine is our new dietitian! She knows she has some big shoes to fill but we're pretty darn sure that she's going to be great at it! What about the food coach that you've been: a) scared to face b) glad to see or c) indecisive depending on the week?!? Sandi took on a big and exciting adventure! She found a wonderful microbiologist who swept her off her feet and moved her to St. Louis (the Rams or Cardinals-- who really did she go for?)! We are happy for her even though someone threatened to lock her in the closet so she couldn't go! :)
I think that pretty much covers our big stuff-- come in and visit the 'new' New U! Look forward to seeing everyone!
---Lesley (ya-- I'm still here too!)
O one more good thing.... FOOTBALL IS STARTING!!!
