FRIDAY NIGHT IS SNA FRIGHT NIGHT AT RICH'S FARM - DEADLINE TO RSVP - TOMORROW!!
The SNA has put together a trip to Rich's Fright Farm in PA. We are meeting this Friday

There is a 25.00 fee that includes the tent area with a fire, the scary hayride and
trip through the haunted house. We will have food available but there will be a 2.00
fee for non SNA members. Please fill out the form and return with your money to Brenda
Deane in HPRR. We need to know by Thursday if you are going.
ONCE AGAIN, THE SON ROCKS & WALKS! TOP TEAM IN THE AHA WALK!

Congratulations to the hearty souls who braved the chilly weather to walk for a great
cause on Saturday. Many thanks to everyone who donated and contributed to our success,
including Lya Stroupe and Chain Wen-Wang who coordinated the yummy and very successful
Bake Sale and all who baked for it. The silent auction raised $265 - many thanks to
those who bid and congratulations to those who won.
Special recognition goes to Roger Carpenter who once again spearheaded our successful
effort. He coordinated the walkers, created the motivational bulletin board and kept
us headed in the right direction. He was also recognized as one of the top fund raisers
thanks to many last minute donations. His efforts resulted in the School of Nursing
raising in excess of $1600 for the American Heart Association. Well done!
A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL WHO WORKED THE HEALTH EXPO FRIDAY!
We did at least 450 blood pressure screenings, gave flu shots for 10 hours or so, did
diabetic foot screenings for 12 hours and finger sticks for 12 hours *whew* - well done!
The School of Nursing always works hard for the community at the Health Expo! Already
looking forward to the Kids' Fair in April - it's a lot of fun! Thanks so much for
making a difference Friday!
