Greetings,
The weather is toying with us. In the last few weeks
we have had highs in the 80s and highs in the 60s. Our basil is
starting to show that it will not stand for the thermostat lowering.
Fall brings a relief from the summer heat, but reminds us winter is
approaching.
Welcome to Yvonne Honigsberg
our new Celebrations Manager. This month Stroke Anniversaries have been
added to the Message Board. Be sure your anniversary is on record!
Check the intro to Yvonne's article for instructions.
The Annual Golf Tournament, a major fundraiser
for The Stroke Network, was held September 24. Be sure to check out the
Organizational Highlights article for a report.
After reading the Organization Highlights
article, be sure to peruse the other articles. Look at the list to to left titled
"In This Issue."
Enjoy the October
newsletter!
