Summer has quickly passed and now its time to roll up our sleeves and get back to work! To recap for all of you who had too much sun and may have forgotten...in May we honored outgoing president Tiffany Stonebraker. She is now busy with her new baby daughter! We installed officers for the 2007-08 year which included our new president, Delores Banfield; membership leader, Deb Puetz; programs coordinator, Andrea Higgins; and secretary, Melody Clark. Congratulations to all of our officers!

Greater Seattle DHS members once again manned the bean bag toss at the soccer fields at Special Olympics on May 31st. This year helpers included Delores Banfield, Clydene Evans-Wenzel and Melody Clark. I know the athletes appreciated your support!

Another round of thanks to Melody Clark for her time spent at the Union Gospel Mission. This volunteer opportunity is still open to any and all hygienists with a few hours to spare. Please contact Juanita Banks at (206) 621-6795 if you are available.

GSDHS is pleased to announce the continuation of our effort to provide, as a MEMBER BENEFIT, ALL FIFTEEN CE CREDITS required by Washington State law. CE courses will be offered in conjunction with general meetings, volunteer events, and as a week-end CE course. To take full advantage of this generous offer, members will need to attend all events offering CE credits. The October 14th course will be announced on our website. After our November 11th meeting, Gail Hilderbrand will teach us "How to Survive the Holidays without Gaining Weight or Going Crazy". This is sure to be a great class as she has lots of wonderful insight into nutrition and life.

Our general meetings will continue to take place at Good Shepherd Community Center at 4649 Sunnyside Avenue N. in Wallingford. As in the past, we will be meeting on the second Tuesday of the month. Please note there is a NEW MEETING TIME, from 7 - 7:30pm. The CE will follow immediately afterwards.

WSDHA's House of Delegates is just around the corner on Oct 16-18th. This year it is a joint venture with OR and it will be held in Portland. We are in need of delegates so it's a great time to drop by and support your component (and a great excuse for some tax free shopping!)

The executive board of GSDHS meets on the fourth Wednesdays of each month at the Marie Callendar's restaurant in Northgate, from 7-9 pm.

Our component newsletter, The Explorer, is now available only via our website, www.gsdhs.org. Please log on for current news! For more information, contact Marie Hildebrandt at mariehruska@yahoo.com or 206-922-3832.
