Education/Diana via Vivian

Member Appreciation: Kate and Karen are working on the March Event. They have a preliminary flyer but want to finalize it this week. I have sent a reminder also, since we have had our first inquiry already. They are working with Donna and in the learning process.

CCRN/PCCN course is January 14,15, 2013 at Legacy Meridian Park. We currently have 80 attendees and anticipating 90 by Monday. Food has been ordered, Chris Schulman is ready and things went to the printer Friday. It looks like another successful event. I will attend both days as I am working at LMP those days so will walk Kate and Karen thru the process. Donna will be attending on Monday only and the rest of us will get the applications together as in the past, and back to Donna for processing. Let me know if you have any other questions I will be shopping for the goodies today.
