Need to Know!!

Required TB Tests and Code of Conduct manuals were handed out during April's meeting. There are still a few volunteers who have not had their TB Test completed for 2009. Also, we are still lacking quite a few volunteers who have signed and returned their Code of Conduct Manuals signature sheets. Please make arrangements to complete both soon!

Attention Volunteers .
Your annual TB Skin Test will be administered before April's Monthly meeting. Monica Baxter, RN, Saint Mary's Infection Control and Employee Health nurse will be set up at 12:30 p.m. prior to April's meeting. We encourage every active volunteer to attend. If you are not able, arrangements will need to be made to have your test administered.

Upcoming Volunteer Webinars
We would like to invite you to join us for some great learning opportunities for the Volunteer program. Two webinars are being offered to all interested volunteers. If you would like to participate, please call Stephanie Beerman at 968-2841, ext. 0 to sign up for either or both if you like! Please leave your name and a good contact number so we can call if anything changes. Both webinars will be held in Cafes 2 & 3 from 10-11:30 a.m. We hope to see you all there!
