BRING ON THE COOL

WEATHER! Don't know

about anyone else, but I am

over this heat! Not a sum-

mer person.

What great speakers we had

our August meeting! I for

one thoroughly enjoyed

them. I had never heard of

Asperger syndrome. And

sometimes the way things

work out is very ironic...I

talked to a friend I had not

spoken with in 33 years, and

in the conversation she men-

tioned that her grandson

(who is a member of the

Georgia Boys Choir and just

toured England) has this

exact condition! With edu-

cation and training, he and

his parents have learned

what is needed to keep his

symptoms pretty much con-

trolled.

We had a beautiful day to

visit the Ivey House in Willis-

ton......and oh my!!!!!! Wish

you all could have been

there! We all ordered differ-

ent desserts and passed

them around the ta-

ble......kind of like a dessert

sampler! My favorite was

the buttermilk walnut pie,

milk cake, coconut cream

pie, midnight chocolate layer

cake....and whatever else we

had. Yea, you get the pic-

ture. If you missed this trip,

let me know when you can

go and I will be glad to go

with you!!!!

I will see everyone at the

September meeting.

Who has Happy or

Remember it goes to

a GREAT cause. We

want to support our

District for PI

Convention in 2012.

The Spaghetti Dinner Committee would like to ask all Pilots to begin collecting the Plastic Grocery Bags that your gro-ceries are bagged in( or Wal-Mart Plastic bags). We need a col-lection of these that can be used for the Carry

Out Dinners at the Spa-ghetti Dinner. Please collect these and bring them to the Sep-tember meeting or the Spa-ghetti Dinner if you plan to work it.

Don’t forget this dinner benefits the Anchors who work it. When they

work it, they will get a portion of the proceeds to go towards their trip in March to the Anchor Convention.

Officer Training for An-chors is September 10th at 9 am at Trinity High School. If you would like to attend to show your support, it is a Great thing to be apart of.

Shannon will be attending

our Fall Council and Dis-

Brain Minder Facts….

Calendar of Events…

Day of Caring…..

Program

Speakers

Every 21 seconds someone in the United States incurs a brain injury.

Every 16 seconds someone in the world sustains a brain injury.

In the USA, approximately 90,000 people experience a life-long debilitating loss of function due to a traumatic brain injury each year.

Most frequent causes of brain injuries are vehicular crashes, falls, sports and recreational inju-ries and assault.

Brain injury is the most frequent cause of death among young people.

Annually, 30,000 children be-come permanently disabled, 150,000 are hospitalized and 7,000 deaths occur due to brain injury in the United States.

No one is immune from brain injury.

Many people are not aware that brain damage can occur after a near drowning, or during a medi-cal emergency.

Currently, up to fifty percent of the American public is unaware that shaking a baby is dangerous.

An estimated 3,000 children are

diagnosed with the traumatic brain injury known as shaken baby syndrome (SBS).

The only defense against brain injury is prevention education.

Puppets, coloring books, Costumes and much more to help teach Brain Awareness can be used.
