CHERUBS The Association of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Research, Advocacy, and Support The Silver Lining Spring 2002 CHERUBS 1109 Williamsboro St Oxford, NC 27565 The Silver Lining Spring 2002 Dear Members, Our newsletter is back in printing after a 6-month hiatus due to lack of stories of our cherubs. We still need more stories to fill future newsletters, it’s far too expensive to print and mail newsletters with just a few stories. Please send your cherub’s story to us by e-mail (preferred) or by postal mail. Our 2002 International Conference was cancelled; please see the article for more details. We hope to raise enough funding to continue this annual event in 2003. As usual, we are busy, busy, busy here. Our 2001 CDH Survey Results will be published in our Summer newsletter; we are revamping our entire web site; many local get-togethers are planned; and we are actively trying to get grant funding and sponsorship for CHERUBS. We now have over 1150 members, including over 1000 families, in all 50 states and 35 countries. We have just gotten too large for my small house and only 1 full-time volunteer. Please see the article for more details. We are still in dire need of donations. Yes, the donation column is quite long this newsletter, but it lists donations made over 7 months. ANY amount will help. As we go, our printing costs and mailing costs increase, but donations have not. If you can afford to, please remember to make your annual $20.00 Family Membership Donation or $30.00 Professional Membership Donation. We also have a large amount of cookbooks and t-shirts still to sell, so please keep CHERUBS in mind for gift-giving ideas. My apology goes out to members and friends who purchased Valentine’s Day Tributes. To try to make it up to you, your tribute will be posted in both this issue and our Summer Issue. I hope everyone has a safe and healthy summer. Dawn M. Torrence, President and Founder . Madison, You will always be in Our precious miracle, Mommy and Daddy our hearts, Anastasia Drew Warner, we love you! love you and miss you!
