2012 NEAOHN Conference Vendors/Ads:  If you, your company or your chapter would like to be a vendor at this year's NEAOHN conference, please contact Kim Olszewski at   kim@midstateohs.com immediately to reserve your table.  Space is limited, and there is only a few tables left!  Don't miss this opportunity!  Also, if you would like to support this year's conference by the way of a conference booklet ad, please contact Noreen Leibrock at liebron@novachem.com

NEAOHN Educational Grants:  There is still time left to apply for an NEAOHN Grant!  By speaking with all of you, I know there are a lot of good projects and work being done in your facilities.  Now is the time to showcase those efforts, and earn $500 to attend this year's conference.  Be sure to go to the website for more information....deadline to apply is June 1, 2012!!!

2012 NEAOHN Donation:  I am pleased to inform you that the NEAOHN board unanimously voted to support a $400 donation to the AAOHN foundation, and a $100 donation to ABOHN.    For those of you that attended the conference in Nashville, the AAOHN foundation conducted a silent auction.  NEAOHN donated a $400 Apple iPad for that event.   As you consider donations this year , both personal and among your chapters, please consider donating to both of these organizations who so generously support our members!

Congratulations to Stephanie Chalupka:  2012 Charlotte Brody Award Winner
