Hey gang,
I need EVERYONES help with this little project.  City Bank is giving
away five $10,000.00 awards to local non-profits and all we have to do
is to vote for NAMI Lubbock on their website.  I'm sure the new board
members and officers would really like to have $10,000 to use next
year to run NAMI Lubbock on.  You need to vote every day and can vote
once for every email address you have.  I'm voting on two addresses
now and am about to jump to 4 every day.  The contest runs through Dec
21.  We are getting a late start at this so we will need to stay the
course of the voting.  Our friends at MHMR are currently leading the
vote getting as of today because they have been very organized in
their efforts.  Please help as we need the money to help continue our
operations.  Remember this is everyday and $10,000.00 could make
SSSooooo much difference in our operations.  OK, here's the link to
click on:

PS They are also giving away $500.00 to a lucky voter so vote early
and vote often.

Hello -

I am writing to ask your assistance in passing on an invitation to
participate in a study of the best and worst movie portrayals of
mental illness and its treatment. Through a prior survey, nominees
were determined for each of these categories. The final ballot can be
accessed through this link
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=DQ9eYt26xjctu8a_2byzUzVQ_3d_3d
or by visiting my www.psychmovies.com website.

To date, approximately 200 people have responded, primarily psychology
students and mental health professionals. I am hoping to also have
mental health services consumers and their families represented.

This project was approved by nami.org and is posted on the national
website:

http://www.nami.org/Template.cfm?Section=Court_Watch1&template=/ContentManagemen\

Any assistance you may provide would be most appreciated!

Boy, we had a great board training session on April 22!!
Unfortunately, none of you were there and I hardly remember it myself,
SO, I have rescheduled it for MAY 22 at 7 pm at a place to be
determined.
Please let me know if you can not attend.  I would like all officers
and board members to be there.
Davod

I have tentatively scheduled a board training session for Thursday,
April 22 at 7 pm.  The training will be by the lady who is the
executive director of the Lubbock Volunteer Center.  She is Bernie
Bass's wife but I have gone blank on her first name.  Board members,
PLEASE let me know if that is not a good time for you.
David

I have received this message and am moving it here for any possible help.

I am trying to locate half-way houses for the mentally ill in Texas.
My client is a 28 year-old female with schizoaffective disorder. Her
dedicated parents have accomplished all that they can with her at
home. Both work and are unable to be constant schedule monitors. We
believe she will be more cooperative in a non-family environment. She
has never been a danger to others. Due to appropriate medication
management, she is not a danger to herself. Her maladaptive behavior
was cutting. I am interested in all such resources in Texas because we
haven't decided whether it would be best to keep her near so she can
continue in our DBT program or better to move her out of the area away
from her current friends in Lake Jackson and Houston.

I have started a list of people who wish to get our newsletter by

from our school nurse presentation.  Let me know if there are others.
David

The school nurse conference this Saturday will be at the Region 17
Service Center at 1111 W Loop 289.  If you can help man the booth,
please be there at 11:30 am.  The schedule is listed below:

     3:30-4:00   EVALUATION AND CONCLUSION

The school nurses conference on mental illness is this Saturday and I
would like to get some help with the table we will have to pass out
literature and promote NAMI.  I forgot to ask where the conference is
but suspect it is at the LISD admin building.  I will find out on
Wednesday and let everyone know.  I don't see a need for us to get
there until 11:30 am when their lunch break starts.  DeAnna and I are
doing a presentation on our families experience and a summary of the
different mental illnesses in children.  We start at 12:30 pm and go
until a break at 1:45 pm.  Dr. Rogers follows us and the conference
will end after a 30 minute summary session at 3:30 pm.  I need folks
to hand out brochures and answer questions during lunch and the
breaks.  I think our table will actually be in the main room so that
you can hear the presentations if you are interested.
