Follow up discussion at September meeting
Next Meeting &
Adjournment
Helen suggested that since we did not do an awards banquet this year that
we host cocktails and horderves at a specified location on Emergency
Nurses Day in October and make it a membership drive. Ideas were
discussed. It was learned that Emergency Nurses Day is during the
convention this year so either an alternate date would have to be utilized
or the function will have to be deferred to next year. Will discuss at the
next meeting. In the meantime members are to investigate potential
venues.
Next meeting to be September 9th.
Next meeting will be September 9th at 1730 at
Des Peres Hospital.
