New Website
We need your help. In November 2008, we were lucky enough to participate in a wonderful program offered by the Art Institute of Dallas. AID sponsored a competition to design a new logo for our organization. Students worked very hard and came up with several excellent designs. Ultimately, the design of Adrianne Riehn was selected as the winner.

Now we would like to move forward with the design of a new website. We have a very limited budget and we would love for someone to volunteer to design our new website for free. Please email Jason Edwards at jpedwards@hemoinfo.org if you would like to volunteer your web design services.

Change of Plans
Due to a lack of In-Kind Donations, we are having to reevaluate the online auction idea. We are now considering a party with a donation request of $20 at the door. HIS will provide beverages (soft drinks, beer and wine) as well as snacks. There will be a live auction of the donated items that have been received and we will be giving away Green Mountain Coffee to those in attendance. Please let us know what you think about this idea. We will also hold our annual meeting just prior to the festivities.

Please give us your feedback at jpedwards@hemoinfo.org.
