Thank you - from your solicitors, Clara Kelly, Fran Rubio, and Carolyn Shankle; from the SECC Committee, from Chancellor Brady, and most of all from the organizations supported through the United Way.

The Library had a 97% return rate for envelopes with 9 out of 10 units returning 100% of envelopes - again, your solicitor deeply appreciates your participation!

Peggy Woods recognized our own Clara Kelly for her years of service and her upcoming retirement. Peggy is correct that the Library will look for another solicitor to assist with the 2010 campaign. Interested? You can speak with any of the three of us and/or Peggy Woods.

Still interested in participating in the 2009 campaign? You can - just get in touch with Peggy Woods who will guide you through the process.

Best,

And a quick recap for those who are interested in flu vaccines...

Contact Student Health Services. At last report, they had seasonal flu vaccine and at least some supply of H1N1 vaccine (nasal flu mist) for high risk groups.

Also, keep checking with your doctor's office to see if they have flu vaccines available.

The Guilford County Public Health Department has a clinical site for providing vaccinations. Their H1N1 and Seasonal Flu Vaccine Availability page gives updates on which vaccines are available for which populations.
