HEARTLAND
Submitted by Beth Dehaven / Heartland Chapter Report 11/3/2012
Lost several members r/t ?? lack of interest, some known lack of funds, had membership drive, chapter sponsored the rest of money for members not able to afford to renew and came up with 5 new members and 5 renewals that we would have lost.
Had first annual awards banquet, on Oct 12 for Emergency Nurses Week, honored nurses as well as a physician, paramedic, emt and rookie of the year award and a couple fun silly type awards. We got our first press with information in several papers.
Having trouble obtaining officers, president will be Laura Webb, I will take president elect if there is nothing officially wrong with that, and a couple of our new people have expressed maybe on other positions. I do not have a final answer from them yet. Everyone else expressed they are too busy, with the exception of Shelley our Treasurer said she will keep that position if needed or wanted, but she is unable to attend meetings with exception of occasionally skyping or talkfusion unless we change to a lunch type meeting, that is not realistic for me, but I will bring it up in our next meeting. I have offered to change days, times, etc, and I have made it roaming to get the most attendance possible. The last meeting I only had 3, L
We have chosen 4 dates for TNCC for 2013
Thanks,
Beth formerly DeHaven , now Dalton

KANSAS CITY
Submitted by Stephanie Droppelmann / The Walk for Woo that we’ve been talking about for over a year was finally held. We were able to give the Artists Helping the Homeless $3000. This was presented to Mr. Kar Woo at our Annual Awards Banquet October 10. We held the walk on October 6th to kick off Emergency Nurses Week. Truman Medical Center-Lakewood hosted our event. It was a little chilly, but still had about 50 people. Not too bad for our very first fundraising event of this type.

ST. LOUIS
Submitted by Jeanne Fogarty / Remain extremely busy during the last quarter of the year:
1. TNCC classes at Poplar Bluff Regional Hospital on 9/29 - 9/30 and 10/27-10/28. This was funded in part by the grant monies received from the MOENA council. Had 20 students registered for both classes. Very well received.
2. ENPC course held on 10/20-10/21 at DesPeres Hospital
3. TNCC instructor course being held 11/10/12. This will be the largest instructor course that we have held. Candidates coming from many different areas/states (Helen can elaborate)
4. Jeanne will speak at the Mercy Grand Rounds on 11/7/12 - Injury Prevention - Battle of the Belt. Sgt. Al Northup MO State Highway Patrol will also be presenting.
5. Annual Awards dinner was held on October 10th. Dr. Michael Lim was our guest speaker. Very well attended. We had more nominations for awards than ever before, esp. for Rookie of the Year. Very evident that many of us have started accepting new graduates into the ED setting. Special awards were presented to the CEO and COO of Saint Louis University and the CEO of DesPeres Hospital in recognition of their support of the Saint Louis Chapter. DesPeres Hospital graciously allows us to use their facility free of charge for our local classes, including providing meals for the class participants. Saint Louis University continues to provide support and actually sponsored the awards dinner for us this year. Special awards recognition was also given to Helen Sandkuhl from the family of a patient. Helen was very instrumental in arranging for an International transfer so that the patient could return back to the St. Louis area (home) and receive the medical care that he needed. Helen is still instrumental in organizing and personally assisting with home care visits for his ongoing needs.
6. We are actively working on updating the Chapter Bylaws and SOP's.
7. Putting together the final pieces of our facebook page, looking into a twitter account.
8. Future educational events include: CEN Review course on 4/6 - 4/7/2013. Jeff Solheim will be the instructor. Forensics seminar on 7/29/139.
Elections were conducted and all current officers will remain in their current positions. President - Jeanne Fogarty President-elect - Helen Sandkuhl Treasurer - JoAnn Coogan Secretary - Carol Pettit Immediate Past-President - Joan Eberhardt
