Hopefully we will be sightseeing in 20-25 states. If there is something you need let me know before I leave. If you need anything while I am gone President Ellen Coble should be able to help you. Her email is ellen.coble@hospicecarecenter.org and her work number is 331-1312. There will not be a bulletin until I get back so save this one to know what the upcoming programs are.
