Men’s Get Together Men from the bleeding disorders community came together on Saturday, March 24th at the Charcoal Grill for lunch and discussion. The group networked and talked about various issues, including advocacy. Another Get Together is planned during the GLHF Fun and Education Weekend, Saturday June 23rd, in Green Bay.
Fun and Education A family event was held at the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum on Saturday, February 17. Five families from the bleeding disorders community attended, eleven adults and twelve children. While the children explored the museum, the adults learned about how to be prepared for their next emergency room visit through a Baxter’s Facts First program. The children had a lot of fun exploring the museum – thanks to the volunteers who chaperoned the children. According to the evals filled out by the adults, they felt it was an informative day and learned new ways to be prepared for an emergency room visit.
Exercise and Nutrition Program GLHF in partnership with Baxter sponsored a Facts First program on November 4, 2006 at the Wisconsin Athletic Club. Twelve people from the bleeding disorders community in Wisconsin attended the program and listened to speakers on the topics of Joint Health, Nutrition and Exercise. They also had the opportunity to try out the exercise equipment with the guidance of a personal trainer from the club.
The Wisconsin Athletic Club is offering a one week free trail membership for GLHF families. Please call Eric Gresham, 414-443-5000, at the athletic club for more details and mention that you are a GLHF family. There are several programs available.
