TIME TO SIGN UP FOR THE CHILDREN’S HEALTH FAIR!
 Saturday, April 12 – The annual Children’s Hospital Health Fair will be held at Morgantown Mall from 10a - 5p – we will have fun, interact with the hundreds of kids and their families who stop by and offer safety and nutrition tips.
The kids can play a good old-fashioned game of tic-tac-toe and get bps checked. Since the Fair is on Saturday, you will receive double community service hours – Dress will be scrubs. E-mail Betty Jurick, bjurick@hsc.wvu.edu to sign up or ask questions – the shifts will be 9:30a – 2:00p and 2:00p – 5p. Different work times can be accommodated. I’ll look forward to working with you at the Fair!
SAVE THE DATE - PLAN ON JOINING DEAN NARSAVAGE FOR A NICE WALK!
 Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 3 – It’s the 2008 Morgantown Walk for Life and Breath, sponsored by the American Lung Association. Registration begins at 9 and the walk follows at 10 at the Ruby McQuain Park. Bring your pets and children for a fun morning in the park. The Mountaineer will be there for pictures. Face painters and lots of fun activities for kids will be available. We want a huge walking team representing the School - our goal is to raise more than $1000.
