A Message from the President

Dear Fellow Perfusionists:

 

I am pleased to announce that, effective June 6, 1997, the Connecticut Society of Perfusion is officially incorporated in the State of Connecticut.

 

To all of those individuals who played an active role in the organization process, I would like to express my gratitude for your time and patience. Personal and professional commitments often leave little extra time for additional activities.

 

I now ask the membership to get involved with your state society and stay involved. Make an effort to attend our next meeting. Let us know what goals you would like the Society to pursue. Please support your Society financially by remitting your dues in a timely fashion.

 

Our next meeting is scheduled to be held in the fall in Boston, in conjunction with the AmSECT Region I Meeting. Please make an effort to attend.

 

If anyone wishes to contact me before then, I can be reached at:
