TRIO Chapter Activity Report
Greater Cleveland Chapter - May 2008
TRIO Greater Cleveland now has 82 dues paying
members! The following is a synopsis that I submitted to our local ITNS
Buckeye Chapter for their Newsletter and describes our recent and
upcoming events:
Our After the Holiday Party was well attended on
January 20, despite a horrendous Cleveland snow storm! Many came early
to make sure they made it. Attendance was about 50 members and we
actually gained 2 or 3 members that day. It was nice to catch up with
some old friends and meet new ones.
TRIO had a wonderful Dines Out event in February
in which LifeLine spoke about their medical alert system. We had about
35 people in attendance and enjoyed a wonderful Italian meal at
Guarino’s in Little Italy.
TRIO will host our Annual Meeting on Thursday,
June 18 at 5:30 pm. We will have the meeting at the College Club. Dr.
John Fung will be our Keynote Speaker. TRIO has chosen to honor
Transplant Coordinators that evening. To RSVP or with questions, please
call our 24 hour hotline at (440) 473-8979 or via email at
triocleveland@hotmail.com. Hope to see you there!
We will be sponsoring the Cleveland Clinic Heart
Transplant dinner on Thursday, July 24.
Our Annual Night at the Races will be Friday,
August 8th at Northfield Park. Cost is $25 per person and includes
admission, buffet dinner and parking. Cash bar will be available. We
will have raffle items and will be selling side boards also. If you
would like to attend or donate a raffle item, please contact Suzanne
Himes at (216) 791-3800 x4875.
We are excited for the ITNS/TRIO Symposium in
September and hope that some of our members will attend!
TRIO would like to thank ITNS for your continued support and assistance. We look forward to future events together.
