Clinic Day<br />
As we enter the fall and winter<br />
season, I must say, “Where did the<br />
summer go” I hope everyone enjoyed<br />
their summer vacations boating,<br />
golfing or just relaxing before the<br />
hustle and bustle of school shopping,<br />
early mornings, running the children<br />
out the door to catch the bus. By now<br />
hopefully everyone has their routines<br />
in or<strong>de</strong>r. The NEOR spent the summer<br />
planning for the fall events and<br />
looking for new volunteers. I have<br />
also been looking at the possibility<br />
of new fundraising i<strong>de</strong>as and bringing<br />
new events to our region in the<br />
upcoming year. <br />
This fall, our clinic was held October 16, 2010 at the Laurentian Hospital<br />
in Sudbury. This year we held our first Halloween Party for the children and<br />
families. We all dressed up, including some adults, and pharmaceutical reps<br />
brought costumes but did not wear them. We had the pleasure of our Program<br />
Manger, Eli Bennett joining us at our clinic, dressed as a security guard. Eli<br />
was nice enough to judge the costumes for us and pass out prizes. I hope he<br />
had a great time as well. We played games such as <strong>de</strong>corating our own little<br />
pumpkins and colouring Halloween pictures. Goody bags were han<strong>de</strong>d out<br />
to the children. The new Passport to Wellbeing on Travel was introduced<br />
to our clients on a one-to-one basis. We had fun eating homema<strong>de</strong> cookies,<br />
muffins for breakfast and pizza for lunch. Thanks to all.<br />
It is very important for all of our clients to show up at the appointed times<br />
that the nursing staff have set up for your families. This ensures the staff and<br />
the blood lab can work efficiently together and also provi<strong>de</strong>s us with a correct<br />
count if we are going to serve lunch. We look forward to seeing you all<br />
in the spring. <br />
