Organization Highlights, By Steve Mallory
Steve begins news this month by explaining the new skins which are
now available to customize the Message Board. He then announces that a
second Stroke Network member is to receive stem cell therapy. The
reports are that it is working well.
There is then an announcement of affected arm splints. Be sure to
read about it. Finally he explains Good Search and asks each member who
can to use it for searching the net. Each search provides 1 cent toward
Stroke Network support.
