President’s Message – August 2020

Presidents Message (August 2020) – It sure seems like time is flying by this year, for not getting to do everything we normally would like to do. Maybe this will all be over soon. It sounds like they are making great strides in coming up with a vaccine that will maybe help control this pandemic. AHRMM is offering 10 scholarships to each organization that have AHRMM members seeking to attend AHRMM's virtual courses.

We also have received a nice letter from Kansas Special Olympics for our continued support. I will have it included in this newsletter as well.

I just got off my GPO monthly call earlier today and had a tip from that I hadn't thought of. The tip was to maybe start buying your allocation of needles and syringes to have enough of them on hand when a vaccine does become available.

If anyone has tips, comments or questions, please reach out to a fellow member or any board member, and we can bring it to the group.
Keeping it short this month, take care of yourselves and stay safe!
--Mike Morgan
