Debra Parker, Trustee (LHF) and Evacuee and Lynn Russell, Graphic/Web Designer (LHF) attended the National Hemophilia Foundation's On the Road Program in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They presented a presentation on "Hurricane Katrina" to show what we have been through and the hope we have for coming back even stronger. This presentation was very well received and many people thanked us for showing this at the meeting.

In the "Stories From the Bayou and Beyond" they also presented "Lessons Learned from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita"  to help other communities be better prepared for their own emergencies.

Debra and Lynn also attended the National Prevention Program training. They are currently working on a Preparedness and Prevention packet for our families  to use to better prepare for the 2006 hurricane season. Also to help families be more prepared for the everyday emergencies that people with bleeding disorders encounter.

 These will be presented at our Annual Meeting in June.  We hope to see you there!
