Final Meeting for 2011

I can't believe that Saturday (December 17th) will be the final meeting for 2011!  The year has gone by so fast.  We are expecting some out of area friends and members for the meeting, which is always nice.  As always, we would love to see new faces as well.

I'm looking forward to 2012.  Lots of interesting things on the horizon for us, the least of which isn't Brain Awareness Week (BAW) Open House at Museum of History And Industry (MOHAI) on March 7th.  It is always a fun and interesting outreach event.  As always, hoping for lots of things to giveaway to the kids.  The event is just part of an awareness program put on by the University of Washington, to help raise awareness for kids from about 4th - 12th grade.

There are some tentitive projects in the works for next year, which have lots of promise for our outreach and awareness.

Look forward to seeing as many people at the final meeting & in 2012!

BRAIN AWARENESS WEEK OPEN HOUSE 2012

Just got notification of the 2012 BAW Open House date and time.  It will be on March 7, 2012, from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI), south of the UW campus.  We are looking forward to seeing the kids from Western Washington schools to raise awareness of the condition of hydrocephalus.

We are also looking at more possibilities for our booth, from having more information and giveaway items to having shunt reps to demonstrate how shunts work and answer questions.

Last year's event was such a great success, we hope to build on that in 2012!
