THINGS TO DO WHILE YOU'RE HERE
NAHSL'S GOT TALENT!
NAHSL will be having its first-ever talent show at this year’s meeting and we would love to have you be a part of history. Such a show had become an annual event the last few years that I worked at Dana-Farber, and it was not only entertaining, but really nice to see another, human side of colleagues. There’s talent among us that most of us may not know about – share it with us.
Singing, reading, storytelling, dance, whatever you can fit in 10 minutes. We are talking about prizes, but there’s no reason to feel as though you won’t be good enough. As I told my son before his bar mitzvah, you are among friends, and people want to see you succeed. And we want to have fun!
If you want to participate, just send an email to either Chris Fleuriel (Christine.fleuriel@va.gov) or Sally Gore (sally.gore@umassmed.edu) and let us know what you would like to do. As we get closer to the event, we will ask people to send a short piece so we can introduce you.
