PRESIDENT’S REPORT

 

HAPPY SPRINGTIME (finally!) and HAPPY BELATED EASTER from the Stroke Recovery Association of Edmonton’s Executive and Board of Directors!  Here’s hoping everyone had a wonderful Easter “2009” with Family and Friends!  Since most of the snow is now gone, it’ll soon be time to start with the yard work… getting all your gardening and lawn tools ready!?

 

Please join us on Monday, April 27^th to hear our guest speaker - Ms Linda Mah-Mills, a Dietician at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital.  Come out and learn… “Healthy Eating”!

 

The SRA – Edmonton is pleased to have Dr. Arthur Prochazka, Professor in Neuroscience at the University of Alberta who will talk about “Improving Arm and Hand Function After Stroke” on Monday, May 25^th.  All Stroke Survivors, Caregivers and Health Care Professionals are encouraged to attend!  

 

Please also remember to mark the evening of Monday, June 8^th for our Annual SRA Picnic (with more details to follow)!  It is a pot luck event…so you will receive a call to let us know if you plan to attend, how many guests you plan to bring and to let us know what you will be bringing (e.g. salad, munchies or dessert)!  All the hotdog buns, wieners, condiments, etc. will be provided.  It’s a FUN time and it will be our last meeting until Monday, September 28^th.  Hope to see you there!

 

Just a friendly reminder - if you are a paid member – Thank You for your “financial support” to our Membership!  If you have not paid yet – PLEASE see Fred or Alice Chow at our meeting and they will gladly take your membership money and get you paid-up and in “good standing”!  Our membership fees are very reasonable at $10.00 for a single person or $15.00 for a family… for the year!  We also welcome charitable donations and a tax receipt will be issued to you for them.  We are a “non-profit” organization but we do have some expenses that need to be paid.

 

If you have any other ideas and or topics you would like to hear discussed at our meetings, please let us know by leaving a message on our SRA phone number (780) 485-3052 and someone will get back to you.  We also have a website at www.sraedmonton.org.
