POLIO SURVIVORS SUPPORT GROUP OF WNY NEWSLETTER
September 1994

Don O'Connor, our president , tells me that there is a possibil-
ity that our group can obtain some equipment such as walkers,
crutches, etc. through a local charitable organization. This
equipment could be made available to survivors free of charge. 
In order to take advantage of this offer we would need some members
members to store and handle the distribution of the equipment.

More discussion of this will be had at the meeting Sept 21.

           ************************************

The text of the recent Connie Chung Eye to Eye program re
Post Polio Syndrome wil also be on our September meeting agenda.

The next meeting is September 21 at 7:15 pm at St.Stephen's-
Bethlehem United Church of Christ, Wehrle near Union. All
visitors are welcome.
           ***********************************
Over the past years we have had many interesting speakers who
have given us information and insights into areas of interest
and concern such as rehabilitative medicine, allergies and
asthma, the effects of the environment on our health, ortho-
pedics, orthotics, independent living, transportation, county
and city health programs and Buffalo Freenet.
For ideas concerning fiuture speakers or topics we would like 
to hear from you--new subjects to discuss, or reexamining what
we have heard in the past. 
           ***********************************
V-P Joan Curley is concerned about what we might be able to do
to help fund post polio research, as expressed by Dr. Halstead 
in the Connie Chung program. Lets discuss it further at the
September meeting.
