VIP Blog - March 2010

Dear fellow board members,

I have been getting an education about our Brain Tumor Center in weekly meetings with Dr. Warnick, Kimbaird and Tom. I am excited about the momentum we are building in lots of areas—Rich Seal is driving the wine tasting fundraiser planned for April 29. Should be a great event. We are being conservative about the fund-raising aspect of this event-we know if successful it will build momentum of its own in the years to come. But we are excited to make this happen-- our first official Brain Tumor Center fund-raising event! Thank you Rich! I will also be asking you in a separate email to send names and addresses of at least four invitees in addition to yourself/spouse/guest. We are looking to get a Save the Date notice out shortly.
