Attendees enjoy lunch and conversation at the 2009 Midwest Regional Brain Tumor Conference.  We are hoping for an even better turnout on June 26.

This week's blog enry focuses on three important activities that you need to know about:

Wine Tasting Event nears...

As you know by now, the Brain Tumor Center’s Wine Tasting Event is less than a week away.  The event takes place at the CARE/Crawley Building on the UC Academic Health Center campus on Thursday, April 29, from 6-8 p.m.

The UC Brain Tumor Center team, along with other colleagues in the UC Neuroscience Institute and UC Health University Hospital, is making progress on plans to renovate the current dialysis unit on the neuroscience floor of University Hospital to an acuity adjustable unit designed to care for brain tumor patients across the continuum of care.

Dear fellow board members,

I have been getting an education about our Brain Tumor Center in weekly meetings with Dr. Warnick, Kimbaird and Tom. I am excited about the momentum we are building in lots of areas—Rich Seal is driving the wine tasting fundraiser planned for April 29. Should be a great event. We are being conservative about the fund-raising aspect of this event-we know if successful it will build momentum of its own in the years to come. But we are excited to make this happen-- our first official Brain Tumor Center fund-raising event! Thank you Rich! I will also be asking you in a separate email to send names and addresses of at least four invitees in addition to yourself/spouse/guest. We are looking to get a Save the Date notice out shortly.
