president's message
Welcome to the Virginia Peninsula Chapter of Mended Hearts, Inc. Located in the Virginia's historic southeast peninsula, the chapter covers Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson, the triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown, as well as two communities off the peninsula: Smithfield and Glouester.
If you missed the January meeting you really missed a HUM-DINGER. We had a great program presented by DR. Edwards from the Cardiovascular Center of Hampton Roads. I thought everybody looked spellbound while he was talking and when he finished, the questions came from the right and the left. I don't think I have ever seen so many questions at a Chapter Meeting and the good Doctor answered them all. Thank you Clarence for a great program.
A nominating committee was appointed and introduced at the January meeting. They are Sudie Stultz, Judy Lund, and Margaret Holland. If you wish to nominate someone you must get their permission first, and they must agree to serve if elected. We need the slate of officers ASAP so we can send it to National Mended Hearts right away. Remember we need members to get active. We need new people on the Board as the present board members are getting older and need a rest. If you are elected to an office, you will work with the present office holder until January 2008 at which time your term will start. You will have better than 6 months to learn the duties of your office.
Again thank you for allowing me to serve as your President for two months. This has brought back some great memories of the past 23 years for me. Here's looking forward to the new year with more new members, more members volunteering to lead us to great things in 2007.
Bruce Rogerson,
President
