Next Year's Board - Who's in?

Hey all!

Who wants to be involved on the MSA board next year? We want to get the replacements chosen by January, so if there is something you want to be involved in, let us know!

Next year the blogger spot is open, so let me know if you're interested! We'll be off doing residency somewhere...

Here are the positions on the board. I am not sure which are already filled for next year, so contact Michelle Schmidt, Natalie DeMill, or Melinda Frandsen to find out (email: medicalspousesutah@gmail.com)

Board Positions:

Fundraising, Publicity/Membership, 4th Year Rep, 3rd Year Rep, 2nd Year Rep, Social Events, Legislation, Health Promotions, Festival of Trees, Service, Play Group, Book/Cooking Club, Blog, and Doctor of the Year.

Being on the board is a lot of fun, especially if you are looking for extra involvement during the med school years. Thanks everyone!

Book Club - December 15th

Hey! Here is a message from Lynnae Hymas about Book Club tomorrow night...

Just a reminder that Book Club is this Thursday, Dec. 15 at Erika Behunin's house at 7:00pm. We are reading the book Cutting for Stone.  Alex Greer will be the discussion leader.  It should be a great discussion.

Address and directions from Erika:
2712 E Hillsden Road (Hillsden is 5380 South)

 If you are heading from the North take I-215 south.  Get off 6200 South exit and turn Right (heading West) until you reach the first stop light and turn Right (now heading North) on Holladay Blvd.  Continue heading North on Holladay Blvd for a few miles.  You will pass a LDS Church and immediately after you will take a left (West - which is Hillsden Rd - 5380 south).  You will then come to a stop sign and veer left.  You will very quickly come to my driveway on your left (South).  My driveway is gravel and is shared with another house.  Continue to go straight and you will run into a gate.  I will leave the gate open and just drive all the way in. 

If you are heading from the South take I-215 East and take the 6200 South Exit.  Veer Left after the exit and go left at the stop light (heading West).  You will then come to another stop light and turn Right (now heading North) on Holladay Blvd.  Continue heading North on Holladay Blvd for a few miles.  You will pass a LDS Church and immediately after you will take a left (West - which is Hillsden Rd - 5380 south).  You will then come to a stop sign and veer left.  You will very quickly come to my driveway on your left (South).  My driveway is gravel and is shared with another house.  Continue to go straight and you will run into a gate.  I will leave the gate open and just drive all the way in.

We live in a guest house of a much larger home - we are the caretakers and the owners are at their second home.  You can knock on the "big house" front door. 
It can be confusing so if anybody has any questions - please call!  801-842-9747

Hope to see you all there!

Upcoming Playgroups!

We are having a playgroup on Monday the 28th at 10:30 at the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. It is FREE! We will all meet at the front door for this super fun activity. Any questions, please give Michele Schmidt a call.

On Wednesday December 7 at 10:30 a.m., the Holladay Library is showing "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" (the cartoon one) so bring a pillow and blanket to watch it. I know it's only a week apart but I think December will start to get really busy for people so hopefully doing it at the beginning of the  month will work best for everyone.

See you there!

Festival of Trees Decorating

From Kati Wagner:

This is just a reminder that we are going to decorate the tree for Festival of Trees THIS Thursday at 6pm.  We are now going to be decorating at 1320 Wasatch Drive SLC  84108.

If you are coming from I-215, and traveling on Foothill, just turn right on 1300 and follow it up to the first stop sign.  The big red church on your right is where you need to be. :)

We hope to see you there on Thursday!

Thanks,
Kati
