March 19, 2008
ENJOY YOUR SPRING BREAK!
 Have a wonderful week, get some rest, have some fun (be good!) and we’ll look forward to you returning to finish this fast moving Spring Semester. The next Message of the Week will be April 2.
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 - 6p – 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 – 6p. 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. Please email Roger Carpenter, rcarpenter@hsc.wvu.edu, to sign up. If your schedule doesn’t allow you to be there, you can support a walker with a check to the A merican Lung Association. Nursing students are needed to man the blood pressure tables and help with kids’ activities. Since this is the Saturday before Finals Week, Dean Narsavage will have special “Brain Bags” for our student participants! We’ll wear red t-shirts (if you want a red SON t-shirt, they are available for $6) – please e-mail Betty Jurick, bjurick@hsc.wvu.edu to order. Orders must be received by 4-23 to get them in time).

KEEP BRINGING YOUR USED PC CARTRIDGES TO HEALTH RESTORATION
  We continue to raise funds for the Humane Society – The small pc cartridges we are donating are worth around $1 and the large cartridges bring in $4 each – This continues to be a worthwhile project, saving the animals and the landfill as well. The Humane Society truly appreciates your efforts! This is a year round project! We just turned in another 80 cartridges! Great job – keep them coming – unfortunately, the need never goes away!
