AGM: Amputee Association of Bermuda
April is National Limb Loss Awareness Month and the Amputee Association of Bermuda is encouraging every amputee or friend/loved one of an amputee to come to our AGM meeting on April 21st, 2010 at Dr. Ronald Lightbourne’s office [under 7th day Adventist Church] on King Street and be part of this very important support group.
In addition to reports of progress for the last fiscal year, and elections – we will be discussing the upcoming ACA [Amputee Coalition of America] conference to be held in California in August 2010. Last year for the first time our Association sent two representatives to the conference held in Atlanta and these individuals [Marian Askia and Dauphine Dickerson] received Peer Visitors Training where they may now offer support to new amputees and visit in hospital or in their own home.
If you know of a new amputee or someone who could benefit from our support group please feel free to contact us.
The AGM meeting will begin at 5:00 PM and when the meeting is completed we have a time of fellowship where refreshments will be served. Memberships may be renewed at that time.
If you are interested in attending or would like further information please contact Marian Askia, President of Amputee Association of Bermuda. Cell: 747-3471 Email:ampgrannybda@hotmail.com
