A Note From the Support Group Coordinator

It's hard to believe that we are well into the 7th year of new century!!And after a cold and snowy Holiday season, we are inviting you to our firstLung Transplant Pot Luck of the new year. If the temperatures drop into thesingle digits, please stay home......or if the forecast calls for more thana couple of inches of snow, we will postpone our meeting until the followingmonth.Our potluck will be held on Monday, January 29th, at 5:30 P.M. in the 8thFloor Conference room of the Shiver's Building on the Southeast corner ofNinth Avenue and Colorado Blvd. Parking is available behind the buildingand can be accessed between the buildings off of Ninth Avenue. Pleasebring a potluck dish to share (with serving utensils) and your own drinks.Plates, cups, silverware and napkins will be provided.We hope to be introduced to our new full-time social worker, but please donot be disappointed if that does not come to pass.....Dana Parker hasinformed me that it has been difficult to make the transition, because ournew person is already working at UCH and has not been able to extricateherself from her current job. If we do get to meet her, I hope that youwill share your story so that she will understand what a terrific bunch offolks we are.I hope that a couple of new transplant candidates will be attending and thatyou will make them feel welcome as you always do. I will also be talking alittle bit about my new duties as an Advisory Board member at UCH and hopethat you will become my "pipeline" from patients and families to the powersthat be at UCH.I'm looking forward to an exciting and fulfilling 2007 for all of us! Seeyou on the 29th. Cindy Anderson
