Elisabeth and Rene Dahan are challenging the organization to raise $250,000 that will translate into $500,000 when the goal is reached. The money will support MediSend’s mission to ensure quality health care in underserved communities around the world. Dallas-based MediSend was founded in 1990 by Dr. Martin Lazar, a neurosurgeon, to provide U.S. medical and surgical equipment and supplies to the world’s poorest communities. Since 2007, the organization has also trained biomedical equipment repair technicians for the hospitals and clinics they serve. MediSend’s approach ensures that health care providers not only receive supplies and equipment but also that the equipment will be properly installed, maintained and repaired. MediSend is also home to the Gen. Richard B. Myers Veterans Biomedical Equipment Technology Program, which trains returning U.S. veterans as biomedical equipment repair technicians. Other MediSend sponsors include Strasburger & Price, Chevron, Texas Children’s Hospital, British Petroleum, Touchstone Imaging, Hawn Foundation, Dr. Woodrow and Susan Gandy, Hillcrest Foundation, T-Systems, Exxon Mobil Corp., Dr. Rob and Jo Langdon, Gabriela and Nick Hallack, Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon and Perkins+Will.

  • November 22 1963 the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy A
    November 22 1963 The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy A Lincoln City Libraries Booklist compiled on the 50th Anniversary of the Historic Events At 12:30 p.m. on November 22, 1963, while traveling in an open-air motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States of America, was assassinated by gunfire from the Texas School Book Depository, alongside the presidential motorcade route. Arrested later that day was Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union and then returned to the U.S. in 1962. Arraigned for the murder of Kennedy and Dallas police office J.D. Tippit, Oswald himself was killed by Dallas night club owner Jack Ruby while he was being transferred between jails. An official governmental investigation into the assassination – the President’s Commission on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, chaired by Earl Warren (Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States) – concluded in an 889-page report, released in September 1964, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy, as did Ruby in later killing Oswald. Conspiracy theories have abounded in the decades following the Warren Commission’s findings, and numerous other investigations of the assassination have resulted in a variety of other “official” opinions. The United States House Select Committee on Assassinations, formed in 1976, released a report in 1979 that concluded that although Oswald was, indeed the “lone shooter”, there may very well have been a conspiracy behind his actions to assassinate Kennedy.
