Is this group active still? Moving by late summer to NC   Message List

Re: [SBAofNC] Re: Is this group active still? Moving by late summer to NC

Al, I think you're right.? If memory serves me correctly (and it doesn't always)
I think it was Thoms Rehabilitation in those parts that had an SB clinic.? I do
know that you can go online to the National Chapter and look up all active state
chapters.? I didn't see NC listed anymore which leads me to believe the state
association is defunct as well.? I honestly don't know.? But even though I am in
Fayetteville, if you folks decide to get something going again and need some
help doing some networking, don't hesitate to ask.? I think I have a few
contacts left that can help you out.

Shelly

Dear Shelly,

I don't know if Mission Hospitals in Asheville has an
SB clinic. We have been going down to Shriners
Hospital in Greenville, SC.
