Dr. DeFrancesco's talk will begin promptly at 2:30pm following a brief business meeting where we will vote on the regular membership of Lisa Hossler, who has been an active participant in the Club helping with catalog sales, silent auctions, donations of artwork and most recently as chair of our Membership.
Lisa is sponsored to become a full member by Mary Pickett and Heather Borton.
The school is hoping to host a cardiac health clinic for our club in the New Year. We are so very grateful to Dr. DeFrancesco, Dr. Courtney Wicker Shaw, CCCKCSC Member and Sandra Averitt, CCCKCSC Program Chair for their work to put this important educational programming together. We will provide updates in the coming days..
***Please note that this is a people only and not a Cavalier social given the hospital nature of the environment. Please be aware that the NC State football game will be televised and tailgating will be well underway. So, please plan for traffic!***
