TRIO
Holds Board
Meeting at
Cleveland Clinic
The TRIO Board of Directors held its quarterly meeting on Saturday,
October 13, 2007, at the Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland, OH). In addition
to Board members, representatives of the TRIO Akron-Canton Chapter and
the TRIO Greater Cleveland Chapter attended the meeting. TRIO expresses
appreciation to the TRIO Greater Cleveland Chapter officers and members
for hosting a welcoming reception on Friday evening and for their
assistance in meeting arrangements. TRIO thanks the Cleveland Clinic
Transplant Center for their generosity in hosting this meeting and for
the assistance and guidance provided in making meeting arrangements.
TRIO Carepages now available -
a GREAT funding opportunity for TRIO
You can now provide easy communications to family and
friends for any patient through the popular Carepages resource now
partnered with TRIO. When you open a new "active" Carepages
account where active is defined as when your CarePage has 3 or
more members in addition to the CarePage Manager or a member with three
or more visits, TRIO will receive a special $25 contribution in a
promotion that continues through end of December. In the same 3
month timeframe, there is a contest with the organization getting the
most new "active" accounts receiving a bonus of $5,000 above that
individual account payment of $25 for each. Since we are all
patients, how about reaching out to be that winning group by opening up
your own account and inviting members to your Carepage. With
over 800 members, this has the potential of adding $20,000 plus that
prize of $5,000 to our TRIO treasury. It just doesn't get
much easier than that! Can you
help organize this campaign at your local chapter? Nothing to
loose and everythign to gain. Just click on TRIO Carepages (or type: http://www.carepages.com/trioweb
) to get more information and begin.
New
Resource Section
In
its continuing effort to provide avenues through which members can
share their
ideas and opinions with each other and the general public, TRIO’s
website now
offers a new “Resource” opportunity. The “Resources” section of
trioweb.org has been expanded to include an area
for posting of “Opinion Papers.” Only TRIO members will be allowed to
post papers. Click
here to see this new section of the website.
To respond to the ideas presented in an Opinion Paper, log in to TRIO's
Bulletin Board. There you will find a topic for each posted paper and
you may share your comments, ideas, rebuttals, etc.!
Transplant
Movie Nights
TRIO Philadelphia has been a co-sponsor of an ongoing
series of movies shown at the local OPO, each featuring a
transplant storyline. In response to many who have asked about
this concept, hoping to launch similar events in their own area
(already three other groups have launched their own events), there is
now a web resource describing both the event's operation and a listing
of 45 transplant movies titles with one line story descriptions that
might be used for your organization (or just private home
enjoyment). Click to check out: "Transplant
Movie Nights"
- Links
- TRIO's updated website has an extensive listing of over 700 great
transplant related links and now we are updating them to give the actual transplant program page
for many transplant centers instead of just the hospital's home page!
You can find almost any OPO,
Transplant Center, Federal agency
relating to transplantation . . . AND you can find sites about specific
organs and related sites and interesting items to review. We
review all links to insure they are current and working every three
months to maintian the quality of this unique service.
