Record Breaking Member Attendance for a Field Trip!

Sixty members attended the meeting/lunch/tour at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health?  60 members! That is a record breaker.  And I missed it!  But Cynthia Cicero kindly stepped in and helped out Don and Gretchen Payne at the door and assisted Rich Friedland as needed while he made announcements. 

Here is Cynthia's recap of the meeting:

Those of us who toured the Ruvo Center were treated to a world class research and treatment center for Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.   And I do mean world class since there are Ruvo Centers in Florida and Abudabi with more planned throughout the world.  Every aspect of the clinic was designed to treat clients with the utmost care and dignity.  The story of how the Ruvo Center came into being is just as amazing as the center itself.  From a dinner Larry Ruvo held with close friends and family to honor the memory of his father and donations to Alzheimer’s research, Larry Ruvo’s journey brought him to the construction of this wonderful facility.  No better way to honor his father’s life. 
Thanks to Laura Fritz and Elaine Villanueva Taylor for this wonderful tour and lunch and to Lisa for organizing the event.

Photo Taken:  I understand that a group photo was taken at the event and I have a phone call in to see if I can get a copy.  Perhaps we can have copies made and members can get a copy at the next meeting if they are willing to pay for the cost of the print.  I'll find out how much when I get in touch with the photographer.
