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!
