Greetings,
Welcome to this month's
newsletter. It's September and autumn will begin in
earnest soon. Already the school buses are out in my
neighborhood in the early morning. The garden is
beginning to wind down. Time to work out how to get
exercise when the outdoors is full of ice and
snow!
Shari Bookstaff has joined the
staff of The Stroke Network as Newsfeed Administrator.
In addition to contributing a column to the newsletter,
she updates the website frequently to include stroke
news. Welcome Shari!
Did you know you can have stroke
news links sent to you by email through The Stroke
Network subscription to stroke news? Scroll to the
bottom of Shari's article for a link.
Thanks to the many of you who
emailed me concerning the Celebrations Monitor position.
It was filled during the last week of August and she
will begin with the October issue. Nancy has agreed to
put off her retirement for a month. Thanks!
Enjoy
the September newsletter!
