June 9, 2019 – The Meeting

 After the usual business meeting we had a very nice array of refreshments provided by Carol Trudel & Dot Pecchia. We also enjoyed a bit of a different type of program. Our Program Committee Chairpersons, Moe and Jan Rousseau enlisted their daughter Charlene Canual to speak to us.  Charlene is an advocate for Organ Donation.  Her interest in this field stems from being a recent liver donor to her cousin.  She has recovered well from the surgery and her cousin is feeling so much better since receiving a portion of Charlene’s liver.  Charlene is very active in her “new” advocacy role – participating in events such as 5K walks for organ donation awareness. She did a great job of presenting the need for organ donation, how to sign up to be a donor, communicating with friends and family related to your wishes to be a donor, and answered questions from the audience.
