As you settle in for winter, we wanted to update you on some upcoming activities.
Mark Your Calendars: Upcoming Events

Volunteer at NYP
Our dedicated Volunteer Committee has chosen a NewLeaders Volunteer Initiative to adopt Neural Connections at Weill Cornell Medical Center. Volunteers work directly with patients performing a variety of services, ranging from friendly chats and card games to mealtime assistance and mobilization support.
This year we are once again partnering with Friends For Kids and holding Volunteer Children’s Craft Days at the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital. The first one will be on Saturday, March 8th from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. with more
to follow.
Education Events
Our Education Events continue to be a roaring success! NewLeader Rory Murray hosted the first of our 2008 Education Series: “The Savvy Parents’ Guide to Healthcare” featuring Dr. Pamela Gallin. Upcoming events in the series include the February 26th “Stem Cell 101” hosted by Lauren Reiss Frank, as well as one on Nutrition and another about Lasik Eye Surgery. More details to come.
